PURE Reform has long requested a report on the district's EFA goals. The 4 year period set for the goals ended with the 200-2009 school year. The PG indicates that a report was issued this week.

Once again the benchmarks, which were presented as a means for "how [the district] will hold [itself] accountable," are described as merely aspirational. As long as there was some movement in the right direction on a goal, "progress" toward the goal is celebrated- even if the result is nowhere near the benchmark that was set and even though changes in district results in general mirror results for the state as a whole.
