The CIM process is a series of steps and activities which identify LEAs that need assistance and address the identified problems of practice.
The Special Education monitoring framework uses a tiered system that differentiates the level of monitoring and technical assistance supports for each local educational agency (LEA) based on data analyses and to determine the LEA’s need for support and intervention. At the core of the monitoring framework is the Compliance and Improvement Monitoring (CIM) process. LEAs in Targeted or Intensive Monitoring Levels for performance are required to participate in and complete the CIM process as part of their ongoing, annual monitoring activity.

Welcome to the monitoring activities home page for local educational agencies (LEAs) designated as “Small”. For monitoring purposes, Small LEAs are defined as school districts and charter schools serving 100 or fewer students with disabilities on census day. Small LEAs are monitored annually for timeliness of IEPs, Restraint & Seclusion, and Disproportionality. Every six years, Small LEAs are also monitored cyclically (Cycles A, B, and C) for participation in CIM for Small LEAs (CIM-S). Most Small LEA monitoring activities are conducted independently by the LEA with technical assistance provided and accessed here.
