SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES |
United States Department of Education Monitoring Review
During the week of February 22, 2010, the Student Achievement and School Accountability Programs office (referred to hereafter as SASA) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) conducted its California monitoring visit for implementation of Title I, Part A, Improving Basic Programs operated by local educational agencies (LEAs); Title I, Part D, Prevention and Intervention Program for Children and Youth Who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk of Dropping Out of School (N or D); and Title X, Part C, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act of 2001 (Homeless). The Title III, English Learner Program was monitored in May 2009 and was not included in the February 2010 visit.
The content of SASA’s monitoring is based on states’ responsibilities to provide guidance and support to LEAs and schools based on the requirements of ESEA. SASA uses monitoring indicators (see December 2009 Information Memorandum) to determine the degree of implementation of federal programs administered by state educational agencies. SASA staff has developed indicators in each of the following three monitoring areas: Standards, Assessment, and Accountability; Instructional Support; and Fiduciary. CDE staff, in consultation with SBE staff, provided ED with evidence for the monitoring indicators prior to the visit.
In addition, the monitoring visit involved an onsite review of select local educational agencies
