1. Performance-Based Monitoring and Interventions April 3, 2008

2. 2 2008 PBMAS Overview The development of the 2008 PBMAS is underway. There are significant changes for this year, many of which are the result of new assessments. Some 2008 PBMAS decisions will be contingent on decisions that will be made in the state and federal accountability systems for 2008.
