Information contained in the document posted below is GPRA data for the FY 2006 cohort of grantees for Emergency Response and Crisis Management (ERCM) Grants.
Grantees were required to collect data and report data for the following three measures:
- The percentage of ERCM grant sites that demonstrate they have increased the number of hazards addressed by the improved school emergency response plan as compared to the baseline plan;
- The percentage of ERCM grant sites that demonstrate improved response time and quality of response to practice drills and simulated crises; and
- The percentage of ERCM grant sites that have a plan for, and commitment to, improvement of school emergency response plans by the district and community partners beyond the period of Federal financial assistance.
Grantees were not required to conduct a specific set of drills, but instead selected drills that were consistent with the hazards identified in their district and schools. Grantees also identified the criteria used to assess if the quality of drills conducted improved. ED provided training to grantees regarding possible ways to demonstrate sustainability of program efforts.
