Appendix A: Congressionally Mandated Evaluation

Reports

The law requires the Secretary to submit to the Congress annual reports resulting from the independent evaluation and a final report not more than a year after the 5-year Program ends. These reports should provide the Congress, other policymakers, the research community, and the public at large with important new information about what happens to students, families, schools, and communities when educational options are expanded for urban low-income families through public policy. The next report, the first with results from the impact analysis, will be submitted in spring 2007.
