Local Representativeness

• We analyzed race/ethnicity within each local EI
  program and compared it to the percent
  distributed
• Due primarily to small numbers, we determined
  that for MOST of the EI programs, we couldnot
  be statistically securein determining
  whetherthe responses wererepresentativeat the
  local level.
