CSI LEA Subgrant Reporting Requirements

Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) local educational agency (LEA) reporting requirements and due dates for each fiscal year (FY).

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires state educational agencies to determine school eligibility for CSI. LEAs with schools that meet the criteria for CSI must collaborate with educational partners to locally develop and implement a plan to improve student outcomes. The county office of education also plays a role in providing technical assistance and support to LEAs within its county that serve schools that meet the criteria for CSI.
