Information about PEP Data

Data Collection Procedures

The District was approved for sampling for data collection.  Students are selected for data collection during each collection period using criteria established by the Department of Education.  All enrolled students in grades K-12 are listed alphabetically by last name and numbered sequentially.  A spreadsheet is provided by the US Department of Education (ED) that generates student numbers that should be selected for data collection.  Using this procedure, approximately 1/3 of students are chosen for each sampling window.

GPRA Measures

The US Department of Education requires specific data, reported in aggregate, for Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) performance reporting.  There is one GPRA performance objective for the PEP program: To promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles for students.  ED has developed three GPRA performance measures for PEP grantees:

  • Measure 1.1: The percentage of students served by the grant who engage in 60 minutes of daily physical activity
  • Measure 1.2: The percentage of students served by the grant who meet the standard of a healthy fitness zone as established by the assessment for the Presidential Youth Fitness Program (PYFP) in at least five of the six fitness areas of that assessment
  • Measure 1.3: The percentage of students served by the grant who consume fruit two or more times per day and vegetables three or more times per day
