Strategy
8.1.1 of 3:
The EACs decreased in the number of conferences/seminar/and other training eventsand and did not meet their performance target.
Due to the enactment of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, EAC activities were interrupted during this period and new alignment was needed due to the nature of the requests. Program budgetary constraints affected the publishing of new materials and products. |

|
Strategy
8.1.2 of 3:
EAC on-site consultations increased during this time period and exceeded the performance target.
EAC projects re-directed their focus due to the enactment of the NCLB Act and conducted more activities on-site with clients. |

|
Strategy
8.1.3 of 3:
EAC mailings or individual requests for information decreased very slightly and therefore the EACs did not meet their performance target.
Budgetary constraints of the EAC program were the main reason for a decrease in this strategy. |
