Section IV: Educational Status of EOC Participants (at end of reporting period or for the following fall)

In this section all the standard objectives are listed for your EOC project. The percentage for each of these standard objectives will be pre-populated in the online Web application for all grantees. The pre-populated numbers are based on the information provided on the Program Profile sheet submitted with your approved FY 2016 application. No changes may be made to these percentages on this form. However, if any of the pre-populated numbers reflects a data entry error, you must contact your assigned program specialist to resolve the problem. So as to allow the Department to report aggregated data gathered in a uniform manner, all EOC grantees must report outcomes based on the standard objectives identified in the FY 2016 application.

To better facilitate data collection, please enter a positive numeric value in each field. For fields not applicable to your project, please enter zero (0). If more than one response is possible for a given participant, choose the most recent status. Also, please refer to the “Definitions that Apply” section in the APR instructions for additional information on commonly used terms, e.g., secondary school diploma, and alternative education program, etc., that are new in this APR.

A. OBJECTIVE: Secondary School Diploma

The numerator is the number of participants who received a secondary school diploma or equivalent during the project year (Section IV A1).

Every project will be required to indicate which interpretation of the objective’s wording was followed when the project established the objective rate for postsecondary enrollment in its FY 2016 application. Projects will NOT be allowed to change their selection within the same grant cycle to maintain consistent PE calculations across all PE assessment years. The interpretations are as follows;

□ Option 1: The denominator for this objective would include participants that received a secondary school diploma or its equivalent during the reporting year (Section IV, A1). The numerator is the number of participants served who received a secondary school diploma or equivalent during the reporting year and enrolled in a postsecondary education program (Section IV, D1).

or

□ Option 2: The denominator for this objective would include participants that received a secondary school diploma or its equivalent during the reporting year (Section IV, A1) and those participants who had a secondary school diploma or credential at the time of first service (Section III, A3, A4, and A6 minus deceased reported in Section IV, D4) during the reporting year. The numerator is the number of participants served who received a secondary school diploma or equivalent during the reporting year and enrolled in a postsecondary education program (Section IV, D1) and the number of participants who already had a secondary school diploma or credential at the time of first service and enrolled in a postsecondary education program (Section IV, D2).

Note:  Because Section IV, A5 identified deceased participants, IV, A1 did not include such students; the calculation for Option 1 will therefore not involve subtracting deceased participants from the denominator.  On the other hand, Section IIIA did not identify deceased students; therefore, in the calculation for Option 2, deceased students in IV, D4 will be subtracted from the denominator.

Type and Control of Postsecondary Institutions	NUMBER
