Talking Point
In a perfect world all completed and entered COEs would be reviewed thoroughly by a highly trained recruiter, reviewer, and data entry specialist. Every error would be caught and no question regarding eligibility would be left unanswered.
Discussion Points
In some districts, the recruiter and data entry specialist may be the same person, which means only two people review each COE.
The local MEP reviewer may wear many hats. MEP may only be a fraction of the responsibilities the reviewer has. Consequently, errors may be overlooked.
The local MEP may not have a structured review process, for example, a reviewer checklist or specific data to look for.
The recruiter, reviewer, and data entry specialist may be unaware of all the resources available for reviewing a COE.
