NOTE: Percentages are based on the state manager respondents who rated each area a major or moderate technical assistance priority, which varied by year. State managers who chose the response, "Does not apply, or not able to judge," were included in the denominator of the percent calculation.
EXHIBIT READS: For the 2007–08 program year, among the 56 state managers (weighted) who reported that technical assistance in statewide systems of support or school support teams was a major or moderate priority for their state, 72 percent reported that technical assistance received from the Centers expanded the state's capacity in this area to a great or moderate extent.
SOURCE: Surveys of State Managers. Responses weighted so that each state was equally represented in instances where more than one manager from a state responded.
