ORGANIZATIONS MUST PRODUCE PROGRAM AND FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS SHOULD IT BE REQUIRED FOR MONITORING BY NYSED, ITS ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICER OR IF THE PROGRAM IS UNDER-PERFORMING AND AT RISK OF FALLING INTO NON-COMPLIANCE STATUS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. EACH ORGANIZATION MUST ENTER PROGRAM INFORMATION STUDENTS, VOLUNTEERS, CLASSES, ACHIEVEMENTS, ETC. ON A NATIONWIDE ONLINE DATABASE CALLED ASISTS. EVERY MONTH, REPORTS ARE GENERATED TO MONITOR PROGRAM PROGRESS AND ACTIVITIES BY NYSED AND THE REGIONAL STAC (SUPPORT & TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE) OFFICE. REPORTS ARE USED TO ENSURE EACH PROGRAM IS MEETING SET GOALS AND BENCHMARKS. IN ADDITION, PERFORMANCE REPORT CARDS ARE ISSUED ANNUALLY BY NYSED. NON-COMPLIANCE BY ANY PROGRAM AGAIN, MEETING SET GOALS AND BENCHMARK, NUMBER OF STUDENTS, CLASSES, ETC. CAN RESULT IN REDUCED OR TOTAL LOSS OF FUNDING. LITERACY CONNECTIONS MONITORS THIS CLOSELY AS THE LEAD FISCAL AGENT OF THE HUDSON VALLEY LITERACY CONSORTIUM. BECAUSE THE ONLINE PROGRAM DATABASE (ASISTS) IS SO THOROUGH IN CAPTURING PROGRAM ACTIVITY AND BOTH NYSED AND STAC REVIEWS EACH ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITY MONTHLY, WE CAN QUICKLY IDENTIFY IF PROGRAMS ARE USING FUNDS AS DESIGNATED (THROUGH PERFORMANCE-BASED TOOLS) AND QUICKLY INTERVENE IF A PROBLEM IS IDENTIFIED.
