During this session participants will learn about the major opportunities for improvement the New Mexico Public Education Department utilized to improve the implementation of federal programs to make drastic improvements to the way the SEA supports statewide and local implementation of ESEA programs. Key topics include reducing administrative burden through streamlined processes, OESE monitoring and Federal compliance, serving all students including a focus on student subgroups, and building robust technical assistance models. Key initiatives highlighted in the session will include:

  • Collaboration with the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to correct over 60 findings of non-compliance
  • Creating a cross-cutting compliance monitoring team to ensure robust programmatic/fiscal oversight for subrecipients
