Each Local Education Agency (LEA) will have a review of federal programs’ compliance once in a three year cycle. The yearly monitoring cycle runs from January through May of each year. When an LEA is due for a review, they are required to complete a self-assessment online at: www.leaderservices.com/fedmonitor with an assigned username and password provided by the Division of Federal Programs (DFP).
The monitors conducting LEA reviews are typically retired administrators that are hired and trained by Division of Federal Programs staff. Monitors will use the self-assessments completed by the LEA to verify compliance of each federal program requirement for Titles I Part A, I Part D, IIA, III, V, VI, Fiscal, Reading First and Ed-Flex Waivers. LEAs will have access to their final monitoring report which is also stored online at www.leaderservices.com/fedmonitor . It can be viewed and printed after logging in with the same assigned username/password. Monitoring cycles are also posted on DFP’s web site at all times.
Under the Consolidated Monitoring Process, every LEA receiving federal funds will be monitored at least once every three years (with the exception of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh who are monitored annually).
