Performance Management Organizational Standards IM 138 Released Monday, January 26th State and Federal Accountability Measures ROMA Next Generation States need to identify which set of Standards they will be using: Center of Excellence (COE) developed; COE-Modified-meaning States have taken the proposed Standards and have modified them slightly. This will need OCS approval to ensure they are as rigorous as the COE-Developed standards; or State Alternative Standards. This, too, would need OCS approval to ensure they area as rigorous as the COE-Developed Standards. Many states have been moving ahead to be ready to implement. This includes: Modifying monitoring tools Assessing CAAs to the proposed Standards Training State and CAA staff Communicating with Boards CAAs have moving ahead. This includes: Assessing their CAA to the Standards Communicating with boards Including in Strategic Plans

Information Memorandum 138 Summer of 2015- State Plans will need to address Standards Implementation FY 2016 - All States will Implement Standards Impact on State Plans, Monitoring, Annual Report States Will Need to Identify Standards Used COE-Developed Standards COE-Developed Standards-Modified State Alternative Standards (as rigorous as COE)

New Standard 3.4 3.4 Private CAA - The community assessment includes key findings on the causes and conditions of poverty and the needs of the communities assessed. 3.4 Public CAA - The community assessment includes key findings on the causes and conditions of poverty and the needs of the communities assessed.

New Standard 4.4 4.4 Private CAA: The governing board receives an annual update on the success of specific strategies included in the Community Action plan. 4.4 Public CAA: The tripartite board/advisory body receives an annual update on the success of specific strategies included in the Community Action plan.

Assessment of Standards States may design an approach for assessing organizational standards that its within the oversight framework in their States. Many States may integrate standards assessment into their regular CSBG monitoring procedures, while other States may choose different oversight approaches, such as peer-review, assessment by a consultant or third party, or self-assessment. Some States may also choose a hybrid approach involving two or more strategies. Regardless of the approach, States must ensure the assessment of standards is independently verified by the State or a third party.

Assessment For example, a State on a triennial monitoring cycle may decide to assess the standards as part of their full onsite financial, administrative, and programmatic monitoring protocol. In the years between monitoring visits, the State may require entities to do self-assessments that are independently verified by a third party. In another example, a State may develop a process that includes peer review assessment that is then verified annually during regular State monitoring visits or a State desk review process. States will describe their approach for assessing standards in their State plans, which will be subject to OCS review.

Assessment States are responsible for ensuring that the eligible entities meet all State-established organizational standards. Some standards (i.e., strategic planning, developing an agency-wide budget, etc.) may take several years for eligible entities to meet, but every entity must make steady progress toward the goal of meeting all standards.

During the assessment process… If a State finds an eligible entity is not meeting a standard or set of standards, the State’s response will depend on the circumstances. In cases where the eligible entity may be able to meet the standard in a reasonable time frame contingent on some targeted technical assistance, the State and entity may develop a technical assistance plan to target training and technical assistance resources and outline a time frame for the entity to meet the standard(s). If appropriate in other situations, the State may initiate action…including the establishment of a Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) with clear timelines and benchmarks for progress. As long as the State is confident that the eligible entity is moving toward meeting standards, under a technical assistance plan, QIP, or other oversight mechanism, the State should not initiate action to terminate or reduce funding.

During the assessment process… The failure of an eligible entity to meet multiple standards may reflect deeper organizational challenges and risk. In those cases, a State must determine whether it may be necessary to take additional actions, including reducing or terminating funding, in accordance with CSBG IM 116 (Corrective Action, Termination, or Reduction of Funding), issued May 1, 2012. OCS and States do not have the authority under the CSBG Act to bypass the process described in CSBG IM 116 in order to re-compete CSBG funding based on failure to meet organizational standards.

Implementation States must follow a process that is consistent with State rules and is as fair and reasonable as possible. Allow for input from the boards and leadership of eligible entities on the timing and procedures for implementing, documenting, and reporting on the standards. Integrate the organizational standards in State CSBG plans, contracts with eligible entities, funding documents, and oversight and monitoring instruments and reports. Clearly communicate expectations around organizational standards prior to State oversight and monitoring activities. Only modify organizational standards based on established State rules and procedures that are publicly communicated and transparent

Implementation Because the COE standards are designed as a comprehensive and complete set, any State that proposes making a minor modification to the standards must document the rationale for the change in their State plan and reports; and any modification to the COE standards will be subject to OCS review.

The State Plan Will Describe… Whether the State is using the COE-developed organizational standards (and any modifications, if applicable); Alternative organizational standards, if applicable; The process for establishing organizational standards officially in the State (e.g., through State regulation, contract terms and conditions, or other official policy documents), including a timeline; The approach for assessing eligible entities against standards; Procedures for corrective action activities based on organizational standards; and Exceptions for limited purpose or very small eligible entities, if applicable. States will report on the status of eligible entities based on organizational standards through the required CSBG Annual Report.
