NCLB Coordinators' Guide

Programmatic and Financial Requirements

 

This section focuses on the programmatic and financial knowledge helpful for NCLB coordinators and on the various reporting requirements. This section will address the major tasks NCLB coordinators need to ensure are completed on a timely basis to keep everyone informed of the progress on key milestones.

Section Objectives

1. Review the progress reporting requirements and deadline for submission;
2. Review the financial reporting requirements and deadline for submission;
3. Understand what types of data should be collected and how the information should be reported.

Who is responsible for preparing the progress reports?
Each site is required to submit progress reports via online portal as part of putting the NCLB strategy development process in place in their respective neighbourhoods. These reports help the Steering Committee members and other stakeholders understand what progress is being made in the site, obstacles that may be encountered, available resources and programs and the overall impact of the NCLB strategy.  Uniformity in the reporting format helps ensure that all the information received is consistent across the City. 

The next section will cover the required report formats and report deadlines. Adherence to the due dates is critical to the overall assessment of the development within implementation of CDF.

1. Survey reports due by…..
2. Inventory of resources due by…..
3. Community Action Plans due by…..
4. Progress Reports due by…..
5. Evaluation reports due by…..

The NCLB Coordinator must take the lead for ensuring these reports are submitted on a timely basis. If documentation is required from other funders, it is recommended that the coordinators provide these funders with a brief orientation section at the onset of their award.  During this orientation, they should outline the specific reporting and format requirements for submitting reports.  This will help ensure that the NCLB coordinators have all of the necessary information well in advance of the deadline for report preparation.

It is important to maintain accurate records of the various activities conducted in each neighbourhood in the NCLB site.  These activities must also coincide with the goals and objectives outlined in the local, neighbourhood level strategy.  Given the importance of conducting an evaluation of the overall strategy, it is recommended that the NCLB coordinators use the baselines established in the evaluation process to record and report the progress in their site.

We wish the NCLB coordinators/community developers well on the journey in which they are not alone. They have tools, contacts and experienced colleagues to assist them along the way.
