The 2019–20 Annual Grantee Outcome-Based Data Report for Evaluation and CQI is a grant requirement for the After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Program, and the 21st Century High School After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) Program. Failure to report this data will lead to grant termination per California Education Code Section 8483.7(a)(1)(G).

The Excel workbooks used to complete these reports are attached to this email. One workbook is for 21st CCLC and ASES elementary/middle programs; the other workbook is for high school ASSETs programs. Each workbook includes two tabs for data input:

• Outcome Data for Evaluation
• Continuous Quality Improvement

What’s new this year?

In the ASPEVAL (elementary/middle schools) workbook, on the Outcome Data for Evaluation spreadsheet, the months were added to the Summer/Supplemental column header to help grantees figure out which columns to put the Summer/Supplemental data in.

Recap of last year’s changes

The templates for both Outcome-Based Data and CQI required an Agency Name in addition to school name and CDS code. See your Grant Award Notification (AO-400) or log onto the After School Support and Information System to view your Agency Name.
