Any school district that receives Title I funds is reviewed once every three years. See the 2010-11 schedule below. Depending upon a district’s allocation, that process may be a desk review or an onsite review.
• Districts that receive $70,000 or less for a regular Title I allocation participate in a desk review. Three of these districts will be randomly selected for an onsite review instead of the desk review.
• Districts that receive more than $70,000 participate in an on-site review.
• In either case, if significant findings arise, the district could be in line for an onsite review in the subsequent year.
• Districts that receive more than $70,000 participate in an on-site review.
• In either case, if significant findings arise, the district could be in line for an onsite review in the subsequent year.
Districts scheduled for review during 2010-11 are noted in the chart below. (The schedule for the next two years is available at http://doe.sd.gov/oess/reviews.asp) Districts will be officially notified of their review by mail in August. Information about technical assistance sessions offered via webinar will be included in that communication. Schools are encouraged to participate in these sessions prior to their review. The first webinar will focus on the “Top Five Findings in Last Year’s Reviews.”
A handful of schools have been added to the on-site review schedule this year as a result of findings or by request.
