CEU Monitoring

CEU monitoring ensures all school boards receive funding based on the same criteria, and ensures that all students have equal access to quality learning opportunities. If monitoring reveals that funding and programming criteria are not being met, Alberta Education may recover funding.

Monitoring takes place after funding has been granted to schools because it is a review of information that school jurisdictions submit to the province once the school year is complete.

As Alberta Education is accountable to the people of Alberta, and the Auditor General, the department randomly selects approximately 250 schools for annual provincial CEU monitoring.

In addition, on-site visits are conducted at some schools.  Alberta Education staff works closely with school and central administration staff to review student assessment documents, student and master timetables, and course outlines to ensure that funding and programming requirements are being met.

For the 2010-2011 school year, five schools have been selected for on-site monitoring which will occur in November/December 2010.  Final reports are expected to be completed early in the new year.
