2016-2017 Healthy Indicators & Ideal Cut Scores


May's Universal Desk Audit Update

As promised, each month, we have focused 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 CPR Course information AND records of the employment of school counselor, teacher librarians, licensed school nurse, and proper licensure for all certified staff (nonpublic schools will be checked for proper licensure) For the CPR Course information, districts will expected to upload procedures to ensure completion of training or integration into required course.  For proper licensures, districts will need to complete the BEBS submission as well as upload school/district master schedules and course descriptions or provide links to these things if available electronically.  What might this look like in your district?  Will you be able to upload the necessary information or do you have it linked to your district website?  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.
