Goals from previous fiscal years

Goals from previous fiscal years will have no effect on the 12/13 Table 5 (other than for the Enter and Retain Employment goals that were set in the same year that the student left if he is eligible for inclusion on the 12/13 Table 5).

 

In order to be included on Table 5, the goal must be set in the same fiscal year that the student left the program.  For 12/13 no goals will affect Obtain GED or Enter Postsecondary Education/Training because those are now completely cohort based.  Since the 12/13 Table 5 includes students who left the program between 10/1/11 - 9/30/12 with an Enter Employment goal, goals will still be included for those students who left in 11/12, but only if the goal was also set in 11/12.  The 12/13 Table 5 will include students who left with the Retain Employment goal between 4/1/11 - 3/31/12, so goals from 10/11 or 11/12 will cause students to populate the Table.  If an Enter or Retain Employment goal for a student who is eligible for inclusion on Table 5 is marked as met with met date in the correct follow-up quarter, the student will count on Table 5 as having met the objective. 

 

For Table 11, only goals that are set in the reporting year are included, so if a student still has an active goal to Leave Public Assistance from last year or any previous year, it will not populate the 12/13 Table 11.
