21APR Reporting

The 21APR is designed to collect, from all active 21st CCLC, descriptive information on program characteristics and services as well as performance data across a range of outcomes. In addition, one of the core purposes of the APR is to collect information on the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) performance indicators associated with the 21st CCLC program. Every program site receiving 21st CCLC funding needs to complete the reporting system. If you needed your password reset or a authorized user added, please e-mail Kamille Sheikh.
