States Can Revise Targets
For Unanticipated Events
States can revise agreed upon performance levels if one of two categories of
unanticipated circumstances occur, says OVAE's new guidance for adult and
vocational education programs. Category one includes state-mandated changes
in data-gathering methods and can only be done for future years. Category
two includes contextual events such as spiraling unemployment or natural
disasters. Category two can support revising target levels in current or
future years. State Directors have received this guidance by e-mail and it
will be posted on the web soon.
