Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Las Cruces Public Schools (LCPS) uses the NM Graduation Technical Manual to guide expectations and processes for graduation cohort review for all schools. The District currently supports each registrar with live data dashboards to monitor students who have withdrawn across which includes the NM State code. The LCPS Information Operations Department, who over sees STARS collections, meets with all registrars yearly to review the dashboards, review the NM graduation Technical Manual, along with all internal process of where the documentation needs to occur. After findings from the audit, the following will be added to our process. Training: ? The IO Department will continue to train all registrars on a yearly basis using the state?s Graduation Technical Manual. As of December 1, 2022, this training will now be considered mandatory for the school administrator. ? Attendance of the trainings will be documented in our professional development monitoring system-Vector Solutions. Internal Audits: ? Each site?s school administrator, who attended the training, will conduct frequent checks of the students that have withdrawn to ensure proper documentation is being completed using the data dashboards as reference. ? The LCPS Information Operations Department will conduct two internal audits, one in the fall and one in the spring, to ensure compliance of documentation is ongoing and not occurring only at graduation cohort review timeline. The Associate Superintendent of Information Operations will incorporate trainings for all registrars and school administration representative by December 1, 2022. Internal audits will be conducted every September and February of each school year.
