Negotiating Your Targets

Review the proposed targets

Look at your data

– trends/preliminary data if available

Discuss the targets with your partners

– any changes in policy or practice that may affect performance outcomes?

Understand the context and rationale for the proposed targets

• Expectation of continuous improvement at the state and local level

• Need for the state to be able to meet state targets negotiated with OVAE

Negotiating Your Targets

Determine if you will accept the proposed targets or will propose alternatives.

If you accept the state proposals--

• Return the Negotiated Performance for FY13-14 form

• Include BOTH secondary and postsecondary signatures

If you don’t accept the state proposals--

• Notify the state

• Submit alternative target(s) along with the rationale for the proposed alternative(s).

Requirements for State and Local Improvement Plans

The language in the Act regarding improvement plans and the withholding of funds is very similar for states and local recipients.

…fail to meet at least 90 percent of an agreed upon State adjusted level of performance for any of the core indicators……develop and implement a program improvement plan (with special consideration to performance gaps within subgroups) …

Withholding Funds

Applies to State and Local Recipients … the Secretary may withhold all or a portion the state’s administrative and leadership funds if a state …

Fails to implement an improvement plan. Fails to make any improvement within the first

program year of implementation of the improvement plan.

Fails to meet at least 90% of an agreed upon performance level for three consecutive years.

… the State may withhold all or a portion of a local recipients funding if the local recipient…

Withholding Funds

Sanctions may be waived due to exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances.

Withheld funds are to be used to provide technical assistance.
