Data Collection Purpose
Based on information provided in the School Student Counts data collection, the table below provides eligibility and ranking information.
Funding selections made below define the LEA's EIA Intra-District Plan. If the LEA will be allocating SCE funds, based on SCE Eligibility and Ranking, select schools to fund by placing a check in the SCE Fund column.
Note: This data collection will not display if the LEA did not apply for EIA.
Guidance
If a school grade level configuration is modified the LEA must initiate the CDS change process located at the CDE Schools and Districts Web page. The proper form may be found under the section "School and District Updates," "School Forms," then select "Change Request for a CDS Code" (form TSD-02). This form must be submitted to the CDE per instructions.

Grade-span 1 is for elementary grades, grade-span 2 is for middle grades, and grade-span 3 is for high schools.

- 25 percent or more of the students are from low-income families
- 50 percent or more of the students are EDY.
The CARS will determine whether this school is SCE Eligible.
