Federal Programmatic Monitoring
Federal regulations and administrative procedures require that the State educational agency (SEA) monitor the implementation of program requirements and the expenditure of federal funds. Monitoring Federal programs is conducted to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. Monitoring emphasizes accountability for using resources wisely. Monitoring serves as a vehicle to help Local education agencies (LEAs) achieve high-quality implementation of educational programs.
