Federal Title Programs Monitoring

Medium

The NDDPI is required by federal law to monitor local Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV, Private School Equitable Services, English Learners, Homeless, and Foster Care programs to ensure compliance with programmatic and fiscal regulations. NDDPI selects the top 10% of riskiest districts for monitoring based on a comprehensive risk assessment. This comprehensive risk assessment evaluates multiple indicators of district performance and stability, creating a composite score. This composite score is the primary factor in determining which districts are prioritized for monitoring, and is calculated using a weighted combination of the indicators below:
•    Past audit and monitoring findings, including the time between audits/monitoring 
•    Number of TSI/CSI (Targeted/Comprehensive Support and Improvement) schools within a district
•    Administration turnover 
•    Chronic absenteeism 
•    Number/amount/types of grants
