**Target Context**. Submission of EDFacts/EDEN data by States in 2006
was voluntary, and the data collected give a very incomplete picture of
the nation. Although submission of EDFacts/EDEN data is mandatory in
2007, States have until 2009 to comply. In August 2007, the U.S.
Department of Education plans to analyze the available EDFacts/EDEN
data, but whether it is realistic to use these data to establish a
baseline and set annual targets will be determined by the quality of the
data and how many States they represent.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Target Context**. 

The target is to have no statistical difference in Internet access
between high- and low-poverty schools. Although the table shows small
differences in 2002, and 2003, and 2005, these differences are not
statistically significant. Submission of EDFacts/EDEN data becomes
mandatory in 2007; however, States have until 2009 to comply. In August
2007, the U.S. Department of Education plans to analyze the available
EDFacts/EDEN data and assess the quality and completeness of the data.
It may be possible to continue to collect the data through NCES surveys
until EDFacts/EDEN data are complete.

**Target Context**. In FY 2006, the program office developed and began a
series of innovative, virtual monitoring visits using videoconferencing
to gather the comprehensive information needed for multiple programs at
a significantly lower cost and greater efficiency than traditional
on-site visits. Because FY 2006 was a developmental year for virtual
monitoring visits and follow-up activities, it was unrealistic to use FY
2006 data to establish a baseline.  Data for FY 2007 will be used to
establish the baseline.
