This resource is intended to outline the Procedure Review activity for district Catamaran Coordinators. Procedure Reviews will happen virtually and may still result in a Corrective Action Plan (CAP), similar to other on-site monitoring activities.

  1. Log into Catamaran.
  2. Access the activity in two ways:
  • On the Dashboard, scroll down to the Tasks Overview section. Use the filters, as needed, to narrow tasks, and select the link in the Activity column to open the Procedure Review activity.

Upload Procedures

What is a Procedure?
  • Written document that may provide the who, what, and when of an activity.
  • For identification, the procedure may be a narrative document that describes what happens when a request for special education evaluation is received. It may be a flow chart that provides timelines for what if situations.
  • For discipline, it may be a description of the steps used when determining a change of placement. It may be a step-by-step list of whom to contact when a student with an IEP is being suspended.
  1. From the Procedure Review Menu, choose the District Upload link to access the page.
