performance and financial expenditure 

information as directed by the Secretary 

under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary 

may also require more frequent 

performance reports under 34 CFR 

75.720(c). For specific requirements on 

reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/ 

fund/grant/apply/appforms/ 

appforms.html. 

(c) Under 34 CFR 75.254, the 

Secretary may provide a grantee with 

additional funding for data collection 

analysis and reporting. In this case the 

Secretary establishes a data collection 

period. 

5. Performance Measures: The 

Department has developed the following 

performance measures for the purpose 

of Department reporting under 34 CFR 

75.110: 

(a) Program Performance Measures. 

(1) The performance measures for this 

program are: (i) The number of charter 

schools in operation around the Nation, 

and (ii) the percentage of fourth- and 

eighth-grade charter school students 

who are achieving at or above the 

proficient level on State assessments in 

mathematics and reading/language arts. 

Additionally, the Secretary has 

established the following measure to 

examine the efficiency of the CSP: The 

Federal cost per student in 

implementing a successful school 

(defined as a school in operation for 

three or more consecutive years). 

(2) In accordance with 34 CFR 

75.110(b), applications must describe: 

(i) The data collection and reporting 

methods the applicant would use and 

why those methods are likely to yield 

reliable, valid, and meaningful 

performance data. 

(ii) The applicant’s capacity to collect 

and report the quality of the 

performance data, as evidenced by 

quality data collection, analysis, and 

reporting in other projects or research. 

(b) Project-Specific Performance 

Measures. Applicants must propose 

project-specific performance measures 

and performance targets consistent with 

the objectives of the proposed project. In 

accordance with 34 CFR 75.110(c), 

applications must include the following: 

(1) Project-specific performance 

measures. How each proposed projectspecific performance measure would: 

accurately measure the performance of 

the project; be consistent with the 

program performance measures 

established under paragraph (a) of this 

section; and be used to inform 

continuous improvement of the project. 

(2) Baseline data. (i) Why each 

proposed baseline is valid and reliable, 

including an assessment of the quality 

data used to establish the baseline; or 

(ii) if the applicant has determined that 

there are no established baseline data 

for a particular performance measure, an 

explanation of why there is no 

established baseline and of how and 

when, during the project period, the 

applicant would establish a valid 

baseline for the performance measure. 

(3) Performance targets. Why each 

proposed performance target is 

ambitious yet achievable compared to 

the baseline for the performance 

measure and when, during the project 

period, the applicant would meet the 

performance target(s). 

All grantees must submit an annual 

performance report with information 

that is responsive to these performance 

measures. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things: whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, whether the grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the performance targets in the grantee’s 

approved application. 

In making a continuation award, the 

Secretary also considers whether the 

grantee is operating in compliance with 

the assurances in its approved 

application, including those applicable 

to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23). 

7. Project Directors’ Meeting: 

Applicants approved for funding under 

this competition must attend a meeting 

for project directors during each year of 

the project. The meeting may be held 

virtually or in person at a location to be 

determined in the continental United 

States. Applicants may include, if 

applicable, the cost of attending these 

meetings in their proposed budgets as 

allowable administrative costs. 

8. Technical Assistance: Applicants 

approved for funding under this 

competition must participate in all 

technical assistance offerings required 

by the CSP Office, including project 

directors’ meetings and other on-site 

and virtual gatherings sponsored by the 

Department and its contracted technical 

assistance providers and partners 

throughout the performance period.
