LEA Criteria for Differentiated Assistance
A table that lists the LEA eligibility criteria for 2023 differentiated assistance.For districts and county offices of education (COEs) to be eligible for differentiated assistance, the same student group must meet the criteria in two different State Priority Areas.
For 2023 differentiated assistance determinations, districts and COEs will become eligible based on:
- Student group performance in two or more Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) state priority areas, or
- Performance on local indicators in two or more priority areas, or
- A combination of student group performance in one state priority area and local indicator performance in one different priority area.
The eligibility criteria for charter schools is the same as for districts and COEs except charter schools have to meet the criteria in two years. Results from the 2022 and 2023 Dashboards are used in differentiated assistance determinations.
Please note that local indicators are not available on the 2022 Dashboard. Additionally, only Status levels are available for the state indicators on the 2022 Dashboard.
For more information on the 2022 differentiated assistance criteria, please see the 2022 LCFF Assistance flyer (PDF).
