Measuring the progress of special population students in meeting the standards is conducted locally and the results are included in each district's or institution's two-year plan. The state-developed a guide entitled Managing Local Plans to assist local agencies in understanding the importance of performance standards and measures and in conducting their evaluation. The state will analyze the data and disseminate a report in 1994. Data for all measures with the exception of basic academic skills is available through the Vocational Education Management Information System. Data on academic skills will be collected through the Department's School Assessment System.
Local modifications are allowable.
Any modifications of these measures and standards by districts or institutions are described in the local application.
