Contractors are required to analyze findings from the self-evaluation and develop both a written list of tasks to modify the program for all areas needing improvement and procedures for ongoing monitoring to assure that areas that are satisfactory continue to meet standards.
Also, contractors are required to submit a Summary of Findings of the Program Self-Evaluation (PSE) to the California Department of Education (CDE) by June 1 of every year. The ELCD 4000M survey is provided for use in fulfilling the submission requirement for the PSE.
The PSE webinar will be April 14, 2021, 10:00 a.m.
