7. Monitored LEAs and Charters What to expect?

8. Preparing for Monitoring Regional Education Facilitator (REF) will contact the HR Director and/or BT Coordinator (LEAs) or Principal (Charters) announcing the monitoring visit. REFs will coordinate scheduling with LEA/Charter, including visit dates, interview, and exit conference. LEA/Charter will arrange a meeting space for the team and will gather and organize documentation (BT lists, BT files, supporting evidences) needed for the visiting team. LEA/Charter will send prepared survey links to BTs and Mentors prior to the visit.

9. After a Monitoring Visit A final monitoring report will be sent to the district within 30 business days of the visit. The LEA will have 30 days to respond and 90 days to implement changes to address areas of concern. Technical Assistance Visits will occur periodically after the monitoring visit to monitor response to areas of concern and to offer support as needed.
