No Child Left Behind Monitoring
Monitoring No Child Left Behind (NCLB) programs supports the Florida Department of Education’s (FLDOE’s) mission to increase the proficiency of all students within one seamless, efficient system. It allows the FLDOE to examine the implementation of these federally funded programs designed to increase student proficiency. Through regular monitoring, the FLDOE can identify implementation issues specific to the Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) or pervasive statewide, and provide technical assistance that is tailored to institute enduring system improvements. Thus, monitoring serves not only as a means for helping LEAs achieve high quality implementation of educational programs; it also helps the FLDOE collaborate more effectively with LEAs for systemic and systematic program improvement.Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) at 34 CFR 80.40(a) requires the FLDOE to monitor subgrant activities “to assure compliance with applicable Federal requirements and that performance goals are being achieved.” Section 1008.32, Florida Statutes, addresses the responsibility of the State Board of Education for oversight and enforcement relative to compliance.
The FLDOE utilizes a focused monitoring process to meet these state and federal requirements and to ensure that federal programs are implemented with fidelity. It is important to note that the FLDOE reserves the right to withhold funding to, and to implement other more restrictive conditions for subgrant recipients deemed as not implementing state and federal programs with fidelity, as determined through the monitoring process.
Following the monitoring process, the FLDOE utilizes a report to identify areas where an LEA might be fully compliant, if further action is required, or, in some cases, not applicable. The Criterion section identifies specific activities required for full compliance. For items that require further action, a General Findings Statement describes non-compliance. Specific information about what is required for an LEA to be compliant is found in the Specific Findings section of the report. This information is released in a preliminary report, which should be carefully reviewed. Following the receipt of the preliminary report, the LEA must submit System Improvement Plan(s). Information in the Specific Findings section is used as a guide for actions that must be addressed and included in System Improvement Plans. If the LEA determines that the FLDOE has made an error in the findings, the LEA may submit a request for reconsideration. Following the approval of all System Improvement Plans and, if applicable, requests for reconsideration, the FLDOE issues a final report.
All LEAs/State Agencies must submit approved Self-Evaluation Certifications and System Improvement Plans electronically toANNOUNCEMENT!
In response to requests from LEAs, we have been able to re-adjust the schedule and due dates for the 2008-09 NCLB monitoring cycle. The changes are as follows:- The on-site monitoring visits will occur as originally scheduled. The due date for documentation is now 10/17/08 rather than 9/29/08.
