Title I Graduation Rate Cohort Documentation Noncompliance

District procedures did not always ensure that adjustments to the high school cohort graduation rate were supported by required confirmations. Of 25 sampled students removed from the 4-year cohort across eight Title I high schools, 8 lacked federally required documentation confirming transfer to another school or diploma-bearing program. Causes included lack of recordkeeping training for school personnel and insufficient District monitoring.
