001Hello and welcome to this year's monitoring process for the title 2A program. This presentation will discuss the selected title 2A requirement. We will go over the documents that the school system will need in order to participate in the process as well as the items that TEA staff will review. This presentation is intended solely to provide general information and guidance to Texas LEAS ESC's nonprofit subgrantees and participating private schools receiving equitable services. The content in this presentation reflects the Texas education ay's current understanding of statute and applicable federal guidance. The content of this presentation is subject to change as a result of future guidance and or other updates provided by federal agencies with regulatory oversight of these programs. This presentation does not constitute legal advice and entities are therefore advised to seek legal counsel regarding the
002information and guidance provided in this presentation before acting upon the information provided. Recording use of artificial intelligence. The Texas Education Agency, TEA, does not permit thirdparty recording or use of artificial intelligence AI summary services during his grants related trainings. Attendees of TEA's grants related trainings may not use AI services, language models, applications, interfaces, or assistance to attend, review, or recorded trainings. TEA further prohibits any person or entity from using the information included in his grants related trainings to train AI technologies. Any attendees of TAS grant related trainings who violate this prohibition may be removed from the trainings and might be barred from attending future grants related trainings. Documenting overall compliance for a program requirement may require several forms of documentation to be maintained locally and available upon request by TA and or an auditor to
003ensure overall compliance with program requirements. LEAs should refer to the program guide and or other program related resources that reference the multiple forms of documentation required to be maintained locally. The documentation requested for submission during the validation process may not include all forms of documentation that are required to be maintained locally. Here we have the chosen program requirement for the upcoming monitoring process. The title 2 a stature requires the title 2 activities carried out by the LEA be aligned with the challenging state academic standards. For this requirement, the LEA is required to submit documentation for item 1.1. That will be a description of how the activities were aligned with the challenging state academic standards. To document compliance for this particular requirement, the LEA is asked to submit for one title 2 activity relevant pages of
004the most current district improvement plan that includes a statement that describes how the LEA ensured that activities to be carried out on the title 2 para A were aligned with the challenges set academic standards. Please note that while we requesting documentation for evidence of compliance with alignment with the challenges to academic standards requirement, the Texas Education Agency will also review whether the submitted documentation represents an allowable use of funds, including but not limited to compliance with applicable supplemental supplments. Issues that might result in improving status for item 1.1 include the following. Auditable documentation requested was not submitted. Documentation submitted does not show the activity to be aligned with the state academic standards. Documentation is for the state require activity and is therefore as a plant. The documentation required for item 1.2 is relevant relevant activity
005documentation for one title 2 a funded activity reference in 1.1. activity documents for one tit or two pri activ activities such as payroll costs, contracts and services, supplies and materials or other operating costs that demonstrate such activity alignment with the state academic standards. See sample items referenced in the following chart. Related activity documents must be appropriate for the selected activity in item 1.1. This chart shows examples of some possible title two prior activities by by class object code and the corresponding activity related documents. For example, if activity falls under object code 6100 for payroll costs such as extra duty pay for title 2 a professional development outside of the regular school day, we expect to see a related training certificate or extra duty pay request form or other documents related to the title 2 para
006a professional development that staff received. Issues that may result in an improvement needing status include additable documentation requested was not submitted. Documentation submitted does not align to the activity described in item 1.1 documentation. Documentation is for a state record activity and is therefore as a plant. Now let's go over the different resources and support. These resources are available for school systems to review prior to submitting documentation for selected PMBB requirements. Please take advantage of these documents to ensure the district is informed of the overall process for program monitoring validations and all program specific resources. In order to assist with the monitoring process, school systems may refer to the ESSA program monitoring validations page, the guidance document, the training slides, and the training video. Furthermore, the school assistants may reach out to the education service center
007for support. These service centers provide complimentary technical assistance and training available from each regional ESC. For a list of contacts for each regional center, please go to the tea title 2 par a web page. Thank you so much for your time and attention.
