Monitoring Responsibility  ODE monitors implementation of federal and state programs  Review expenditures  Review program elements  Interview involved individuals  Report concerns with program implementation seeking remedies

Consolidation of What?  Federal Programs  Title I-A (help students in high poverty schools meet standards)  Title I-C (migrant education)  Title I-D (services for neglected and delinquent students)  Title II-A (enhance teacher quality)  Title II-D (support classroom use of technology)  Title III (help limited English proficient students learn English)  Title X (services to homeless students)  Perkin Civil Rights (support students with civil rights concerns)  State Programs  Division 22 (state law governing schools/districts)

Past Practice  Program staff arranged separate visits  Programs visited on variable schedules  Each visit had separate “lead”  No clear pattern for predicting visits  Multiple points of contact led to confusion

Possible Solution  All programs visit simultaneously or sequentially in brief window  Pilot model to determine how it works and for whom  3 pilots (Ontario, Gervais, & Forest Grove)  All programs participated  Participants surveyed following visits  Internal discussion of effectiveness

Results of Pilots  ODE collected needed data  District staff appreciated more limited window of interruption  Challenges with access to district/school staff (esp. small districts)  Challenges in coordination among ODE staff and contractors

What We Know about the Future  visits will include all federal ESEA (formerly NCLB) at district  Division 22 will not be included for  Most programs will visit on a variable 6-year cycle  Titles I-C and III require more frequent visits than do other programs

How Will Districts be Identified for Visits?  Minimally once per 6-year cycle  33 districts per year  Notification in late spring for coming school year  Specific dates communicated immediately before school starts in fall

Where do I find Monitoring Resources?  Notebook tabs  Monitoring tool  Materials are linked from

Who comes to Visit?  ODE federal program staff  Contracted staff
