Mid-cycle Monitoring

By state law, PQA has the responsibility to ensure that all corrective action required as the result of findings made during the Department's Public School Coordinated Program Reviews (CPRs) is fully implemented by public education agencies and that it is effective in remedying noncompliance with state and federal special education requirements.

PQA staff carry out this responsibility in two ways:

Phase I (Progress Reports):

• Monitoring implementation of corrective action and adherence to timelines through the review of prescribed written progress reports submitted to the Department.

Phase II (Mid-cycle Review):

Mid-cycle Reviews also include:

• Onsite monitoring of the implementation of new state or federal special education requirements enacted since the last CPR; and

• Onsite monitoring of the implementation of corrective action required by the Department as a result of patterns of noncompliance identified through the Department's complaint management procedures.
