Two respondents stated that CMCAwas not implemented as planned. These respondents noted that the CMCA trainingwas held much later than planned, which delayed a lot of the CMCA actions duringthe first project year. These respondents also identified the deviation from a CMCAgroup in each district to one county-wide CMCA group.• Two respondents stated that the first year of LST was being implemented withseventh graders instead of sixth graders in one district. This was done to betterintegrate LST into the district. Two respondents reported that TND was beingimplemented with tenth graders rather than ninth graders in two districts.
