March Universal Desk Audit Update

As promised, each month, we will focus on 1-2 documents that will be required for the 2016-2017 Universal Desk Audit.  This desk audit will be an examination of documents and records, limited in scope, and conducted off-site, the purpose of which is to determine compliance with state and/or federal requirements.

Impact on our Keystone AEA Schools:  This month we will focus on Attendance center and course enrollment data review.  Schools will be expected to provide evidence of minutes from a data day or other review opportunity. What might this look like in your district?  Will a master schedule be posted on each building's website?  Will teachers be expected to have up-to-date schedules on their websites?  All great conversations that should be happening in your building.

Below you will find the documents we've highlighted in previous months as well as a link to the entire list of the 2015-2016 Universal Desk Audit Documents.

•  HS Program, grades 9-12
• JH Program, grades 7-8
• Elementary Program, grades 1-6
• School Calendars 
• Annual and Continuous Nondiscrimination Notices
  
• Board Policies for Accessibility and Confidentiality of Student Records and Graduation Requirements
