Administration Apportionment Process
The California Department of Education (CDE) will develop an Apportionment Information Report form for each school district and charter school that includes the apportionment amounts due to each school district or charter school for the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) administrations it conducted during the previous school year. Each fall, the CDE will send school districts and charter schools the Apportionment Information Report for the purpose of certifying the accuracy of the apportionments for the previous school year.
To ensure the accuracy of the completed Apportionment Information Report forms provided by the CDE, school districts and charter schools should continue to track the number of students for whom apportionments may be claimed. The CDE has developed a CAHSEE school site data collection form (DOC) that schools are encouraged to use to track their apportionments throughout the 2012–13 school year.
For the July CAHSEE administration, school districts and charter schools can claim apportionments for grades twelve and adult education students who take one or both parts of the CAHSEE. For the October, November, and December CAHSEE administrations, school districts can claim apportionments for grade eleven, twelve and adult education students who take one or both parts of the CAHSEE.
For the February and March CAHSEE administrations, school districts can claim apportionments for: (1) grade eleven, twelve, and adult education students who take one or both parts of the CAHSEE; (2) grade ten students who participate in the census or make-up administration; and (3) grade ten students who are absent during the census administration but for whom the school district or charter school returned an answer document with completed demographic information.
School districts will receive:
- $3.00 for each student tested on one or both parts of the CAHSEE for the completion of demographic fields and test responses.
- $0.32 for each answer document submitted for grade ten students not tested during the census administrations (February or March) with only demographic information completed.
For further information about the CAHSEE apportionment process, contact the CAHSEE Office by phone at 916-445-9449.
Intensive Instruction Funding
2007–08 CAHSEE Intensive Instruction and Services Annual Report
Districts and directly funded charter schools that received funding for the 2007-08 CAHSEE intensive instruction and services are required to submit an annual report to the CDE. Reporting of data will be processed through the CDE Consolidated Application (ConApp) Part II. The ConApp Part II will be released in early December 2008, and is required to be completed and filed with the CDE by the end of January 2009. For information on the ConApp, please visit the Consolidated Application Web page.
