Title: Performance Report for StateAdministered Vocational Technical

Education Programs

Abstract: This report will identify

students served in the state vocationaltechnical system with emphasis on

special populations, indicate those

states in need of technical assistance to

improve services to those students, and

provide trend data to demonstrate the

effectiveness of vocational-technical

education in meeting the needs of youth

and adults.

Additional Information: This

information request represents an

extension of a collection previously

approved by OMB . It is being submitted

at this time because as recently as

August of this year we had been

anticipating the passage of new

legislation for vocational-technical

education and had been crafting new

directions for States to follow that

would be oriented toward the

accountability requirements of the new

law as well as the requirements of the

Results Act. The House Representatives

passed its version of new legislation in

June and the Senate was anticipating

action by early September. It now

appears that enactment of a new Federal

law for vocational-technical education

will not occur until 1998 and will likely

have an implementation date of July

1999.

Frequency: Annually.

Affected Public: State, local or Tribal

Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs.

Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden:

Responses: 53.

Burden Hours: 2,756.
