While generally responsive to the 2011 reform law, DPI&#8217;s strategic plan lacks objectives and quantitative performance indicators. In addition, DPI does not have a uniform method to deliver driver education statewide, performs no monitoring of LEA instructors, and failed to conduct a valid pilot project for testing the effectiveness of online versus traditional instruction. The General Assembly should require statewide performance measures and a data-driven outcome monitoring system for driver education as well as a feasibility study on offering uniform online classroom driver education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/Driver_Education_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Final Report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/Driver_Education_Exec_Summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Summary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/Driver_Education_Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/Driver_Education_Handout.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Handout<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Related Reports:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/2014-04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Improved Administrative Program Monitoring by the Department of Public Instruction Can Save Over $19 Million Annually<\/a>&nbsp;(April 2014)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Related Materials:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/Drivers-Ed-Final-Report-3-14-11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">November 2010 North Carolina Accountability Review of Driver Education<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/DPI-6-15-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">June 2012 Report to the General Assembly on Driver Education Reform<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/Driver-Ed-9-17-12.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">September 2012 JLPEOC update<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/Driver-Eduction-Reform-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">May 2013 DPI presentation to JLPEOC<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/UNC-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">May 2013 UNC School of Government evaluation of Driver Education teaching modes<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Relevant Legislation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/BillLookup\/2017\/H70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Bill 70<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/BillLookup\/2015\/S43\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Senate Bill 43<\/a>&nbsp;(2017\u201318): An act to require the School of Government at the University of North Carolina to develop standards for state agencies to use when designing and implementing pilot projects mandated by the General Assembly, to require the Office of State Budget and Management to adopt rules implementing those standards, and to require all pilot projects mandated by the General Assembly to use those standards, as recommended by the Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee.&nbsp;<strong>This legislation was not enacted.<\/strong><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/BillLookup\/2015\/H72\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Bill 72<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/BillLookup\/2015\/S91\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Senate Bill 91<\/a>&nbsp;(2015\u201316): An act to require the School of Government at the University of North Carolina to coordinate a working group charged with developing standards for state agencies to use when designing and implementing pilot projects mandated by the General Assembly, and to require the Office of State Budget and Management to adopt rules implementing the standards.&nbsp;<strong>This legislation was not enacted.<\/strong><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/BillLookup\/2013\/S751\">Senate Bill 751<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/BillLookUp\/2013\/H1038\">House Bill 1038<\/a>&nbsp;(2013\u201314) proposed requiring the State Board of Education to establish and utilize performance indicators;
