Using the SPP/APR to Identify Issues • Compliance and performance • Self-identified issues (discussion of progress and slippage, improvement activities) • OSEP-identified issues (response table)
Monitoring Data and the SPP/APR • Coordination of APR data collection and monitoring data • Database data vs. census data vs. monitoring data • Findings must be made based on data collected through any method that demonstrates noncompliance
Monitoring Data and the SPP/APR • If the SEA/LA receives data through its database that show noncompliance, the SEA/LA must: • Make a finding; and • Require correction as soon as possible, and in no case later than one year after the SEA/LA’s notification.
From OSEP on Databases • An SEA/LA may identify one or more points in time during the SPP/APR reporting period when it will review compliance data from the database and identify noncompliance. • In making compliance decisions, the SEA/LA should then review all the data it has received since the last time the SEA/LA examined data from the database and made compliance decisions. • An SEA/LA may determine whether it will examineall data in the database or a statewide representative sample.
Which Issues to Look For • SPP/APR Indicators • Related Requirements • Your Indicators
