Revisions
Note: if you are choosing to reestablish your baseline and/or proposed targets remember you must provide rationale.
e.g. Rationale might relate to why FFY09 data better reflect the state’s child progress than the baseline reported in FFY08
Also update state SPP with revised baseline and/or proposed targets with rationale
