6. The SPSA Serves as the CSI Plan
The plan must:
Be informed by all indicators, including performance against state-determined long-term goals.
Include evidence-based interventions.
Be based on a needs assessment.
Identify resource inequities, which may include a review of LEA and school level budgeting to be addressed in the plan.
Cathy
The district provides oversight and guidance for CSI schools (not the County or the State), with connection to the LCAP as the LEA plan
The district’s LCAP will identify:
Schools eligible for CSI;
Indicators for which they were identified eligible;
The improvement plans for the schools, and how the district plans to monitor for effectiveness
The Board of Education adopts the LCAP in June (and by extension, the CSI plans)
Sacramento County Office of Education approves the LCAP in August and recommends it to the State Board of Education
State Board of Education approves in October 2019.
