December 2023 Accreditation & Educator Preparation

Montana Office of Public Instruction sent this bulletin at 11/15/2023 05:55 PM MST

COMPENSATION EXPENDITURE REPORT

Compensation Expenditures reporting is a process set up to assist schools with their responsibilities to be transparent with the public's use of funds in accordance with 20-7- 104, MCA. This reporting collects and reports information pertaining to all salaries paid to employees in the district in a fiscal year.

Compensation Expenditure reports must be submitted by December 10th for the previous fiscal year’s data.

Districts will be required to complete the compensation expenditures in TEAMS to finalize the fiscal year 2023 process. You will need to log into TEAMS to complete, this will be located at the bottom of the System tab called “Compensation Expenditure TOE.” If you do not have access to TEAMS or are having trouble logging in, please contact OPITEAMS@mt.gov.

This will be the final action in the TEAMS system for districts.

HAS YOUR DISTRICT STARTED A CNA?

Part of the Integrated Strategic Action Plan (ISAP) is the completion of a Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA). It is recommended to start this process now!

Directions for the OPI CNA:

Go to School Accreditation page on the OPI website
All stakeholders click the link to access the CNA, which will always be open
The district decides what the deadline will be for their stakeholders to the CNA
The District Superintendent will then go back into School Accreditation and click the Request District CNA Results

A reminder you do not have to use the OPI's assessment, it is an option!
