ESEA Programmatic Monitoring & Compliance
Federal Programmatic Monitoring
Federal regulations and administrative procedures require that the state educational agency (SEA) monitor the implementation of program requirements and the expenditure of federal funds. Monitoring of federal programs is conducted to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. Monitoring emphasizes accountability for using resources wisely. Monitoring serves as a vehicle to help LEAs achieve high-quality implementation of educational programs.
In collaboration with other units, the Arizona Department of Education’s Federal Programs monitoring process consists of six major components:
Program Requirements
- Monitoring of Expenditures
- Single Audit
- Physical Inventory Monitoring
- On-Site Monitoring
- Self-Monitoring
- Desktop Monitoring of Approved LEA Budgets
