Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) Academic Assessment Monitoring Program (AAMP) Subchapter 13 Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) Section 21 Monitoring 1. Why has the OSDE implemented an assessment monitoring program? The United States Department of Education (USDE) requires the state to develop an oversight program to monitor each of its local education agencies (LEAs).

Student Achievement and School Accountability Programs (SASA) for Formula Grant Programs; Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Section 9304(a)(1) requires that a State Education Agency (SEA) ensure that programs authorized under the ESEA are administered in accordance with all applicable statutes, regulations, program plans, and applications; ESEA Section 9304(a)(3)(B) requires that an SEA adopt and use proper methods of administering each ESEA program, including the correction of deficiencies in program operations that are identified through audits, monitoring, or evaluation; Section 80.40 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) requires an SEA to monitor grant and sub-grant activities to ensure compliance with applicable Federal requirements; and Title 70 O.S., § 1210.505 Student Assessment, Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP), and Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 210:10-13-2,4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 18, 20,and 21 the OSDE shall establish and implement the AAMP to evaluate school district implementation of both Federal and State required academic assessments. 3. What is the intended effect of the program?
