Abstract
This guide was developed by the National Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center for the Education of Children and Youth Who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk (NDTAC) as part of the instructions for reporting Title I, Part D, data for the U.S. Department of Education's Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR).

The first section, chapter 1, focuses on the background of the reporting requirements; the uses of Title I, Part D, data; and the importance of collecting and reporting high-quality data, and provides information and resources on the CSPR reporting cycle. The second section, chapter 2, provides a detailed explanation of the CSPR and EDFacts data collection systems; how they impact the Title I, Part D, collection; and the related timelines. The third section, chapter 3, elaborates on the CSPR by providing table-by-table definitions, instructions, and information on the data and the manner in which it should be reported. And finally, the fourth section of the guidelines, chapter 4, contains data quality checklists for reviewing the data collected. Tables, appendixes, and exhibits
