Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan (CCIP)
The Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan (CCIP) is a unified grants application and planning system used to by the Department.
CCIP can be accessed with and without an OHID account.
The CCIP contains the goals, strategies and action steps for all grants in the CCIP. Grant applicants and recipients plan and revise budgets, submit Project Cash Requests (PCRs) and Final Expenditure Reports (FERs) and communicate with Department representatives through log entries. Department representatives use the CCIP to monitor financial activities of grantees. The CCIP also hosts a document library with resources for grant recipients regarding policies, legislation and compliance guidelines.
Compliance System
Compliance is an application that helps districts and community schools monitor how well they are meeting the legal requirements and uses of funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently authorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and other federally funded programs. It is a tool for self-evaluation and compliance monitoring of any programs receiving federal funds.
Users who are associated with an organization and assigned to one of the following roles in their organization in the Ohio Educational Directory System (OEDS-R) are allowed access to Compliance:
- CCIP Authorized Representative
- CCIP Fiscal Representative
- Superintendent
- Principal
- Treasurer
- Director
- Coordinator – Federal Programs
- Coordinator – Title I Programs
Nonpublic Data System (NPDS)
The Nonpublic Data System (NPDS) is a Web-based system used to collect nonpublic student enrollment and federal program participation information for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently authorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Comparability
Comparability is a Title I fiscal requirement [ESEA, 1120A(c)] that is intended to demonstrate that a local school district is using Title I funds to supplement, and not supplant, non-Federal funds that would otherwise be used for authorized activities under Title I-A. To be eligible to receive Title I funds, a Local Educational Agency (LEA) must use state and local funds to provide services in Title I schools that are at least comparable to services provided in non-Title I schools. If the LEA serves all of its schools with Title I funds within a particular grade span, the LEA must use state and local funds to provide services that are substantially comparable in each school.
Demonstrating comparability is a prerequisite for receiving Title I funds. Because Title I allocations are made annually, comparability is an annual requirement. The Comparability Web-based system enables districts to perform the necessary calculations annually to demonstrate that all of its Title I schools are in fact comparable.
