Purpose of the SPP/APR Calendar

The SPP/APR calendar was designed to assist States with the preparation and timely completion of the State Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report. Because a number of data and collecting reporting responsibilities of States are completed at various times throughout the year, developing a calendar based on the four seasons of the year seemed to serve as a useful prompting strategy. Rather than evenly dividing the calendar into quarters of four month periods, it has been developed to reflect key data and reporting cycles of the APR. For example, in the Spring, an important activity that should be underway is the planning and implementation of collecting post-school outcomes for Indicator 14 By aligning each season to key APR events, States will be able to respond accordingly.
