Component VI: Faculty, Staff and Administration Component VII: Facilities Component VIII: Program Evaluation Component IX: Recordkeeping and Fund Use The district conducted a self-assessment and the Department reviewed all of the criteria in the specific program areas. The Coordinated Program Review Report includes those criteria that were found by the team to be implemented in a “Commendable” manner, as well as criteria receiving a rating of "Partially Implemented," "Not Implemented," or “Implementation in Progress.” (Refer to the “Definition of Compliance Ratings” section of the report.) Program Review Reports no longer include criteria receiving a rating of “Implemented” or “Not Applicable.” This change will allow the district and the Department to focus their efforts on those areas requiring corrective action. For those criteria receiving a rating of “Partially Implemented” or “Not Implemented,” the district or charter school must propose to the Department corrective actions to bring those areas into compliance with the controlling statute or regulation. For any criteria receiving a rating of “Implementation in Progress,” the district must indicate the steps the district will continue to take in order to fulfill the regulatory requirements. Districts are expected to incorporate the corrective actions into their district and school improvement plans, including their professional development plans. DEFINITION OF COMPLIANCE RATINGS Commendable Any requirement or aspect of a requirement implemented in an exemplary manner significantly beyond the requirements of law or regulation. Implemented The requirement is substantially met in all important aspects. Implementation in Progress This rating is used for criteria containing new or updated legal requirements and means that the district has implemented any old requirements contained in the criterion and is training staff or beginning to implement the new requirements in such a way that the onsite team
anticipates that the new requirements will be implemented by the end of the school year. Partially Implemented The requirement, in one or several important aspects, is not entirely met. Not Implemented The requirement is totally or substantially not met. Not Applicable The requirement does not apply to the school district or charter school.
