respond to the Education Department General Administrative Regulations 
(GPRA) requirements, and award prior experience points at the end of 
each project (budget) period. The Department also aggregates the data 
to provide descriptive information on the projects and to analyze the 
impact of the SSS program on the academic progress of participating 
students.
