  3. Purpose of Compliance Monitoring • The State Department has the requirement to ensure LEAs are complying with federal and state legislation/regulations • LEA compliance is verified in two ways • Desk Audits • Site Visits • Provides data to inform need for Technical Assistance from the state • Improves practice which leads to less need of sanctions from the state

  4. Delaware Compliance Monitoring System • Increase the efficiency of the state responsibilities of Federal and State compliance • Reviewing all Federal and State regulations to ensure we only monitor those compliance items required by legislation/regulation • Less intrusive for LEAs

  5. Desk Audits • Moving as much of the monitoring to desk audits as possible • DOE will use information from already existing documents and data when possible • LEA will only submit documents that do not reside at DOE • Not required to resubmit annually • Exceptions • LEA updates document • Update required due to federal or state changes • Program Managers may complete random checks to ensure the documents on file are the most current • Desk Audit Schedule forthcoming • Inform LEA when desk audits are taking place • Inform LEA when documents are due • Web-based system forthcoming • Until operational, Program Mangers will be asking for documents in either electronic or paper versions

  6. On-site Audits • On-site monitoring for only those compliance issues that cannot be monitored as a desk audit • Coordinated effort with all State and Federal compliance • Confined to months of October and November

  7. Schedule of On-Site Compliance Monitoring • Every district and charter school will receive an audit between October 5 and November 20 • Schedule sent to LEAs on August 10 • LEAs will be notified 2 business days prior to visit • Schools to be visited • Specific Checklists per school • Additional worksheets to support checklists • Name of staff conducting audits • Selection of schools within districts • Targeted (based on specific indicators) • Random (based on number of years since previous audit)

  8. Schedule of On-Site Compliance Monitoring continued • Compliance Checklists sent to LEAs on August 10 • Specific worksheets will be sent Sept 18 • Not all checklists have additional worksheets • Findings will be compiled and sent to LEAs in November

  9. General Procedures • DOE staff will not report before 8:30 a.m. • DOE Staff are working as individuals (with the exception of Sp Ed that is working in teams of two/three) in the LEA office or school for the specific checklist(s) for which they are responsible • DOE staff will visit only the schools assigned on a specific day, however, they will not necessarily visit the schools in the order listed on the schedule • Not all checklists are completed at all sites • DOE Staff will make every effort not to be disruptive to the instructional process
