Education
Educational institutions, both K-12 and higher education, are under growing scrutiny by the US Department of Education, the Internal Revenue Service, Congressional subcommittees, state governments and education advocates.
Among the challenges that are expanding the compliance responsibilities of school boards and school districts are the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, new Federal Family and Medical Leave Act and Military Leave final regulations. These new requirements join the extensive training and reporting requirements of No Child Left Behind, school employees’ protections and students’ rights to create a serious training and documentation responsibility. Kaplan EduNeering has worked with educational institutions to enable training, testing and documentation of compliance-mandated programs. Our multi-disciplined library target subject areas extending from asbestos in schools to student privacy, lead in construction activities, lobbying, government contracting and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Universities and Colleges face growing questions about their tax-exempt status, student security on campus, and increasingly common research facilities associated with the schools. Kaplan EduNeering’s compliance solutions enables distribution of function- and issue-based training throughout the school system, with receipt of training materials validated and comprehension tested. All learning activities in topics ranging from lobbying to gifts and research ethics are documented in audit-ready format to support accurate, cost-effective reporting, monitoring by school managers and auditing by regulatory authorities.
