1 Effectively Addressing Administrative Challenges of Implementing Title I, Part D Katie Deal, Rob Mayo, Liann Seiter, and Jake Sokolsky

2 Agenda Areas of administrative challenges: –Planning and funding –Monitoring and compliance –Reporting and evaluation Resources available for addressing administrative challenges of implementing Title I, Part D

3 Planning and Funding

4 Overview of Planning Planning involves the following: Implementing the overall Title I, Part D program in your State Providing guidance to your subgrantees in their planning to ensure alignment with State and Federal requirements

5 Overview of Funding U.S. Department of Education (ED) determines the amount of a State’s allocations based on the number of students submitted to ED in the Annual Child Count. State Education Agencies (SEAs) allocate: Subpart 1 (S1) funds to State agencies (SAs) based on formula funding Subpart 2 (S2) funds to Local education agencies (LEAs) based on either formula funding or discretionary grants

6 Part D Coordinator Responsibilities: Planning and Funding

7 Part D Coordinator Responsibilities: Planning and Funding (cont.) Conduct the annual count and submit numbers to ED. Reserve funds for SEA administration, evaluation, and technical assistance (TA), if necessary. Determine SA eligibility. Review SA and LEA subgrantee applications Award allocations to eligible SA and LEA subgrantees.

8 Common Administrative Challenge: Planning and Funding Group Exercise At your table, discuss the following scenario: A facility that has received Part D funds in previous years but no longer wishes to receive funds and/or the facility closes after the annual count data was submitted. –What do you do with the funds intended for that facility? –How do you guarantee you receive Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) data for the current school year in which the facility did receive funds?

9 Common Administrative Challenge: Planning and Funding (cont.) NDTAC encourages you to consider: If the facility closes, the funds should ideally follow the students. –What schools/facilities are the students being transferred to? –Are those facilities eligible to receive Part D funds? –Are the students being transferred to a different LEA? The funds can be returned to the SA or LEA, who can then reallocate the funds. Collecting CSPR data before the funding relationship ends is the best way to ensure you receive accurate data.

13 Monitoring and Compliance

14 What Is Monitoring Review? Program monitoring involves regularly and systematically examining program implementation and administration. Purposes of monitoring of Part D-funded programs are to accomplish the following: –Emphasize accountability for using resources. –Ensure that all children have equal opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. –Assess program implementation of policies and procedures for compliance.

17 Federal and Subgrantee Monitoring (cont.) 33

18 Part D Coordinator Responsibilities: Federal Monitoring Review the indicators and documentation that Federal monitors typically require to assess SEA program compliance. Communicate with ED. Review past monitoring reports for your State. Prepare your SAs and LEAs for Federal monitoring reviews.

19 Part D Coordinator Responsibilities: Subgrantee Monitoring Create subgrantee monitoring protocols and guidelines. Establish consistent monitoring “cycles” or schedules. Require corrective actions for subgrantees not in compliance. Ensure that LEAs and SAs are monitoring every facility that receives Part D funding.

20 Common Administrative Challenge: Monitoring Group exercise At your table, discuss the following scenario: An SA or LEA is acting as a fiscal agent, passing funds through to a facility, but the SEA does not see evidence of monitoring oversight. What do you do in this case?

21 Common Administrative Challenge: Monitoring (cont.) NDTAC encourages you to consider the following: What evidence is required for the SA or LEA to demonstrate appropriate fiscal management? –What are the responsibilities of the SA or LEA? Why is the monitoring not occurring? –Could the issue of capacity be addressed by providing the SA or LEA additional TA, monitoring tools, and training? –Is the SA or LEA withholding administrative funds, intended for fiscal oversight? There is a possibility for the SEA to act as the fiscal agent, but additional oversight may be required for SEAs financially transferring funds directly to a facility.

26 Reporting and Evaluation

27 What Is the Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR)? CSPR is a data-collection instrument administered annually by ED’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The required measures for Title I, Part D can be found in CSPR section 2.4. and include the following: –Demographic data of students –Data on transition services –Academic/vocational achievement data –Reading and math performance data

28 What Is EDFacts? EDFacts is an ED initiative to collect, analyze, report on, and promote the use of high-quality performance data. Most of the Title I, Part D data are now reported through EDFacts. Eventually, all CSPR data will be reported through the EDFacts’ online Education Data Exchange Network Submission System.

29 How ED Will Use the CSPR Data (GPRAMA) Percent of students who are N or D and Earned high school course credits Obtained diploma or diploma equivalent Percent of long-term students who Improved in mathematics Improved in reading Efficiency measure Amount of funding per diploma or diploma equivalent

30 Part D Coordinator Responsibilities: Reporting and Evaluation

31 Part D Coordinator Responsibilities: Reporting and Evaluation (cont.)

32 Part D Coordinator Responsibilities: Reporting and Evaluation (cont.)

33 Common Administrative Challenge: Reporting and Evaluation Group exercise At your table, discuss the following scenario(s): 1.A subgrantee has not provided some or all CSPR data for the most recent school year. What is your response? 2.A subgrantee has consistently shown poor student outcomes. How do you address this?

34 Common Administrative Challenge: Reporting and Evaluation (Scenario 1) NDTAC encourages you to consider: What additional TA or tools might this facility need to collect and report CSPR data? Do you need to put a corrective action plan in place? When planning a corrective action to address missing data in upcoming CSPR data collection, you will want to –Document the corrective action clearly –Create benchmarks that indicate progress –Allow sufficient time for the facility to make the necessary changes

35 Common Administrative Challenge: Reporting and Evaluation (Scenario 2) NDTAC encourages you to consider: Are low student outcomes for this facility something new or a trend? –Are these outcomes what you would expect from the population served by that facility? Is the issue poor data system reporting? –Is there data missing? Review the application of the subgrantee to see how the funds are used. Review the most recent monitoring of this subgrantee. –How recently have you monitored this subgrantee? –Were there any findings in the most recent monitoring review? Has the subgrantee set SMART goals relating to student outcomes?
