Advanced Compliance Monitoring

 

Easier compliance monitoring for state education agencies and their LEAs

Advanced Compliance MonitoringEvery state faces the daunting task of ensuring their local education agencies (LEAs) are in compliance with state and federal regulations for their special education students under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

To simplify this typically slow, cumbersome paper process, Leader Services developed Advanced Compliance Monitoring, a statewide web-based application specifically for state departments of education (SEAs) to easily institute a continuous and focused monitoring process.

Using this data collection and analysis application to monitor compliance makes the process much more timely, efficient, and cost-effective in the following ways:

  1. Ensures quicker turnaround and data analysis
  2. Provides more effective communication with LEAs on improvement areas
  3. Provides longitudinal data for both SEA and LEA levels
  4. Provides critical data required by the Annual Performance Reports (APR) and State Performance Plan (SPP) quickly
  5. Eliminates delays mailing paperwork back and forth to LEAs
  6. Eliminates mailing costs and the cost to print volumes of reports

The Process
Using this application, LEAs analyze their own monitoring results to perform self-assessments, with results available for immediate review by the SEA. After onsite monitoring, the SEA reviews consolidated monitoring results securely on the web and generates corrective action plans. These corrective action plans are immediately available to LEAs, and e-mail notifications are sent to appropriate staff based on key events in the process.

As follow-up monitorings are completed and LEAs are brought into compliance, outstanding items are closed on the administrative side of the web site. When an LEA has corrected all deficiencies, SEA staff can generate the necessary paperwork to complete the process.

Advanced Compliance Monitoring was developed to be easily modifiable for each state’s specific requirements. Leader has implemented this process in Pennsylvania since 2001 and in Missouri since 2006 with great success. Put Leader’s 40 years of experience in information processing to work in creating a solution for your state.
