The U.S. Department of Education (Department) allocates funds to States through statutory formulas based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each State. To receive funding, a State plan that includes a description of its accountability system must be submitted to the Department for review and approval. For the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 Federal funding periods, the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) was awarded about $156.4 million and $155 million in Title I, Part A funds, respectively. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires States to reserve a portion of their Title I funds to provide technical assistance and support for local educational agencies (LEA) with schools whose students are most in need of the additional support to improve their academic performance. Therefore, it is essential that the funds reach those students. The objective of this audit was to determine whether CSDE implemented selected components of its statewide accountability system in the fall of 2022 based on data for school year 2021-2022. Data sources included Connecticut's approved State plan, CSDE records and reports, public school statistics, and interviews with CSDE employees. Findings show that CSDE implemented two of the three selected components of the statewide accountability system and provided additional funding and support services to local educational agencies with identified schools in accordance with Connecticut's approved State plan and CSDE's policies and procedures. However, its implementation of certain aspects of the third selected component (identification of low-performing schools) of the accountability system deviated from the plan. As a result, CSDE did not identify all schools for comprehensive support and improvement that it should have identified in the fall of 2022. Additionally, CSDE did not always identify or correctly identify the student subgroups needing additional targeted support and improvement in accordance with Connecticut's approved State plan, which it attributed to a system coding error for additional targeted support and improvement.
