B -- EVALUATION OF 21ST CENTURY COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTERS PROGRAM POC Pamela J. Weaver, Contract Specialist, 202/260-0183//Dorothy A. Hunter, Contracting Officer, 202/708-9256 The Department of Education intends to modify the scope of work of contract # ED-99-CO-0134 awarded to Mathematica, of Princeton, NJ. Since the original statement of work was written the program has grown from a $200 million program to a FY2001 budget request of $1 billion. The original study of 20 sites is inadequate for the needs of ED. The purpose of this modification is to expand the evaluation in two ways: 1) to include a sufficient number of sites to obtain policy relevant minimum detectable effects and 2) to collect and analyze Annual Performance Report data throughout the duration of the contract. The tasks involved are: (subtasks 3.2, 3.3, task 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11). The US Department of Education intends to execute this modification on or before August 11, 2000. See Note 22.
