LEA Funding

Best Practice Cohort. One-time funding is available for eligible LEAs to participate in the Best Practices (BP) Cohort administered by CSIS. Eligible LEAs are those that have not received funding to participate in the CSIS State Reporting Program. The BP program is designed specifically to prepare LEAs to collect, maintain, and submit individual-level data to CALPADS. Funding for this program is available through 2008-09. Visit Best Practice Cohort (Outside Source) for more information.

SSID Maintenance Funding.  Ongoing funding ($0.25 per enrolled student) is available for eligible LEAs to support SSID maintenance. Visit the Local Assistance Funding Web page for more information.

The CDE continues to advocate for more adequate ongoing funding to support LEA activities related to maintaining SSIDs, and collecting, maintaining, reporting, and validating student- and teacher-level data. The CDE has requested funding in the past three years, and sponsored legislation in the past two years. The CDE has requested ongoing funding to support local data activities in 2008-09.
