Verification
GaDOE Compliance Verification
All submitted documents will be reviewed for compliance by GaDOE staff. Compliance is determined upon completion of Procedures Manual and Student Record Review. LEAs demonstrating compliance at the completion of Verification will have completed the CFM Process. LEAs with findings of noncompliance will be required to correct isolated individual findings of noncompliance (Prong 1) and demonstrate systemic compliance (Prong 2). Georgia does not issue pre-findings.
Any noncompliance found during Cross Functional Monitoring must be corrected as described in the Office of Special Education Programs Memorandum 23-01 within one year of the finding if not sooner.
Georgia must verify that the LEA: “(1) is correctly implementing the specific regulatory requirements (i.e. achieved 100 percent compliance with the relevant IDEA requirements) based on a review of updated data and information, such as data and information subsequently collected through integrated monitoring activities or the State’s data system (systematic compliance); and (2) if applicable, has corrected each individual case of child specific noncompliance, unless the child is no longer within the jurisdiction of the LEA or EIS program provider, and no outstanding corrective action exists under a State compliant or due process hearing decision for the child. The State must maintain documentation and evidence demonstrating that the LEA or EIS program or provider has corrected each individual case of previously noncompliant files, records, data files, or whatever data source was used to identify the original noncompliance (child-specific compliance), if applicable, and that the review of updated data and information did not reveal any continued noncompliance (systemic compliance).”
GaDOE Verification
The Verification tab shows the compliance status for the LEA’s procedures, Student Records, and the LEA’s Overall Status once GaDOE completes the review. The verification tab is color coded to clearly identify compliance or noncompliance. Green field indicates the LEA was compliant. Yellow field indicates noncompliance with one or more areas.
