Future Possibilities
• Start over to set goals. • For example, schools apply to partner with the
Department to:
• Establish alternative verification groups • Establish alternative documentation items• Test and analyze results
• The Department uses results in Risk Models
Future Possibilities
• Other Suggestions?
• Review 487A(a) – Language is limiting• Is Reauthorization an opportunity to improve it?• Use Reauthorization to redefine the authority?
• Stay Tuned
