7. To assist LEAs and their schools to meet the needs of each student served, with a focus on building capacity to sustain improvement and effectively address inequities in student opportunities and outcomes.
System of Support Goal

8. Levels of Support
California’s Statewide System of Support includes three levels of supports to LEAs and schools to promote continuous improvement.
Quickly review eligibility criteria for each level
Make connection to MTSS/RTI

9. 163 LEA of the 213 identified for Differential Assistance were because of outcomes for the SWD student group.
We do not think this is a Special Education problem, this is a system problem.
We are aligning some of our practices to the dashboard to make this more coherent for LEAs.
SWD Student Group

10. SED Alignment

11. Reorganization of our supports
Restructuring the Special Education Division
Revamping and expanding a number of its current TA contracts to allow a larger number of LEAs, COEs, and SELPAs to benefit from the expertise cultivated through contracts within existing COEs.
Reorganization of our supports

13. Changes to the Monitoring Calendar

14. What does this mean? DINC schedule stays the same
Disproportionality and Significant Disproportionality will occur together and earlier (in the case of disproportionality)
PIR, CR, Annual Determinations will occur together and will be later (in November) to align with the Dashboard release.
What does this mean?

15. Disproportionality

16. Significant Disproportionality Update
The USDOE will be issuing a delay in the implementation of the regulations
California will not be changing their course
The CDE will be looking at the calculations to ensure that LEAs who were included because of small cell size and not due to true disproportionality are addressed.
