TBA Saga – Still TBA… Other CTE areas that use TBA hours What constitutes sufficiently “robust” student tracking?

CTE If TBA hours are being used for fieldwork or internships, isn’t there another option? Why not internship or fieldwork? What “rules” apply?

Tracking – “Guidance” coming Guidance will be drafted regarding the interpretation of the term “regularly scheduled” when applied to TBA hours attached to a weekly census or daily census course section. …students would be required to participate for the same number of stated hours per week for each week that the class is scheduled, and documentation would demonstrate that enrolled students have done so. Audit language will include requirements for regular monitoring of student participation in TBA activities and criteria and conditions that, if not met, would result in invalidation for apportionment purposes of TBA hours for a course. For example, if an audit determined that all students or a significant number of students enrolled in a section did not fulfill the TBA obligation, then the TBA hours would be invalidated for apportionment purposes. From TBA Follow-up Memo 1
