MV Monitoring

In accordance with Title VII, McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, the Maine Department of Education must have a process in place for monitoring all Local Educational Agencies on their local implementation of McKinney-Vento. This will include a review of the school administrative unit's (SAU’s) programmatic and fiscal administration of the following programs:

• Title VII, McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act
• If applicable, American Rescue Plan – Homeless Children and Youth Part I and/or II

School Year 2022-23 - subgrantees of regular McKinney-Vento grant (7), and SAUs with greater than 50 students enrolled and zero identified M-V students from 2021

School Year 2023-24 - all remaining ARP-HCY subgrantees not identified in 22-23SY category
School Year 2024-25 - all remaining SAUs not in first or second cohort

The process entails:

• Initial notification of monitoring status to liaison and superintendent via email
• First meeting to discuss process, answer any questions
• Collect evidence and submit to ME DOE
• ME DOE review of materials
• ME DOE Final Approval

See below for the McKinney-Vento Compliance Monitoring Requirements and Guiding Questions and a Relevant Document List. The Maine DOE has provided various links to templates and forms that SAUs can adopt.
