QA Exemplary Programs

Exemplary Programs

In 2005, the Juvenile Justice Educational Enhancement Program (JJEEP) instituted a process of assigning exemplary status to acknowledge high performing programs based on previous overall QA scores. Exemplary programs are required to submit all self-report information and participate in a review of only the critical benchmarks, which are rated pass or fail. Deficiencies and recommendations regarding one failed benchmark are addressed in the QA report.

Exemplary programs who fail more than one critical benchmark lose their exemplary status and receive a full on-site QA review the same year, and all exemplary programs participate in a full educational QA review the year following a change in the educational provider.

Exemplary I -- An educational program whose overall average QA score is 7.0 or higher receives Exemplary I status and will not have an on-site QA visit for one year. A JJEEP reviewer will call the school district contract manager to confirm the program’s self-report information. During the subsequent second and third years, these programs will submit self-reports and receive one-day reviews of only critical benchmarks.

Exemplary II -- An educational program whose overall average QA score is 6.5 or higher receives Exemplary II status and will participate in abbreviated (one-day) reviews of only the critical benchmarks for the next two years.

For state agency and annual reporting purposes, the QA scores for those programs who receive exemplary status are carried over each year for the duration of their exemplary status until they receive another full educational QA review.
