In 1983 the California State Department of Education (CSDE) began to develop a coordinated compliance monitoring review process to simplify and coordinate the legally required compliance monitoring of specially funded programs while maintaining the commitment to students with special needs. A new 3-year cycle of coordinated compliance reviews for local educational agencies (LEAs) was begun in 1987-88. This manual reasserts the goals of the coordinated compliance review process as: decreasing monitoring visits by the CSDE; reducing duplication of efforts; increasing local responsibility; ensuring that categorically funded students are provided with the district's core curriculum; and providing technical and management assistance to the LEAs in preventing and resolving non-compliance problems. These goals are to be accomplished by monitoring: (1) specially funded educational programs; (2) school-based coordinated programs; (3) student motivation and maintenance programs; (4) child development programs; (5) consolidated programs; (6) migrant education; (7) special education; (8) vocational education; and (9) adult education. This manual provides the LEA self-review, the state validation review, and the review instruments with their instructions. (SLD)
