The Monitoring and Compliance Branch evaluates the Department’s compliance with federal laws, U.S. Department of Education requirements, and Board of Education administrative rules and policies related to the implementation of ongoing federally funded programs.
It serves as the primary contact with federal program officials regarding the state educational agency’s responsibilities outlined in these programs — Dispute Resolution Procedures required under the Individuals with Disabilities Act and Chapter 60, HAR, and the complaints processes applicable under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended. The office provides technical assistance on grant compliance to Department staff.
