“Purpose” of Federal Program Monitoring LEAs to Demonstrate their Programs are in Compliance with Federal Law - Title IA; Title ID (Delinquent); Title IIA; Title III; Title I, School Improvement LEAs to Avoid Possible Audit Exceptions ** It is NOT to Review LEA’s Programs

NEW – “21 st Century Recipients” Still in the Planning Phase regarding the monitoring of this program Although some entities may be monitored this May or June –Entities will be notified of review in advance –Reviewers will look at current year ( ) program information. –Reviewers look for program “Compliance”, not program “Effectiveness”. –This year will be a paper review instrument, not online May be online instrument next SY ( )

Overview of Federal Programs Monitoring All LEAs are reviewed one time every 3 years –Once every 3-year cycle We are currently in “Cycle 1” ( ) Cycle lists are posted on DFP’s website –Visits occur between January and end of May Typically March – May (due to weather) –Monitors review LEA’s current program year information

Overview of Federal Programs Monitoring Monitoring instrument electronically completed on FEDMONITOR by LEA & Monitor. – –Copy of Review Instruments posted on DFP’s website under “Consolidated Program Review” Monitors review LEA’s current program year information.

Online Federal Programs Monitoring “PROCESS” 1. DFP mails letter to LEA in late December. - addressed to Superintendent/CEO - provides username & password for FedMonitor - provides monitor’s name 2. Monitor contacts LEA to schedule visit. - monitor and LEA mutually agree on date 3.LEA completes online instrument 30 days prior to monitor site visit. 4. Monitor reviews online instrument.

Online Federal Programs Monitoring Process: 5. Monitor conducts site visit / verifies information.  Information reviewed is current program year  Federal Program Staff must be available during review  Title I Parents & Students must also be available 6. Monitor completes instrument online then locks instrument. - notification is ed to LEAs & DFP confirming document has been locked ** Districts have access to locked documents

Online Federal Programs Monitoring Process: 7. Regional Coordinators (RCs) in DFP review locked instrument. - Determines whether programs are in full compliance 8.DFP mails letter to LEA regarding review. ** If there are NO citations: 9. Letter will state LEA is in complete compliance with current statutes, regulations and guidance released by the USDE. - Keep on file for auditors

“Monitoring Reports & Citations” ** If there ARE citations: 9. DFP mails letter to LEA outlining compliance issue Provides Corrective Action Plan (CAP) & a Deadline RC and/or program managers may conduct site visit to provide technical assistance 10. LEA sends CAP to DFP by given deadline 11. CAP is reviewed by Regional Coordinators in DFP 12. LEA receives final letter of compliance… After all corrective action has taken place

Federal Program Monitors About the Monitors… They are retired educators Most are retired federal program employees Trained by DFP program managers on changes and new requirements in NCLB

Keep in mind… It’s okay to ask questions during your monitoring visit! Your monitor can assist you while on site and/or get in touch with us. Many monitors will call DFP right from their site visit to verify something or ask a program manager for advice.

“Division of Federal Programs” Responsibility:  Provide Monitor Training. - Held annually by DFP Program Manager - Discuss updates/changes in in Law (Federal Programs)  Provide Monitor Assignments.  Send Notification Letter to LEAs. - Send copies of Notification Letters to assigned Monitors  Assist Monitors & LEAs with questions regarding monitoring visit/review.  Review Monitoring Reports. - Assist LEAs with questions/guidance on implementing CAs  Mail final letter to LEA / Close out online instrument.
