Tuesday C&I Network
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, ESS has temporarily paused the Improvement Collaborative meetings and is instead holding a C&I Network meeting every other Tuesday for all C&I administrators to discuss current topics and collaborate on responses to the pandemic. C&I Administrators are encouraged to be added to the calendar invite for these meetings - to be added in, please email Amanda Snook at asnook@scoe.org.
C&I Network | Every other Tuesday at 9:00am, meetings resume 8/2/22

Q&A Attendance Accounting Webinar

Question from the last meeting: In order to meet the requirement of SB 98 to provide in-person instruction to the extent possible, are districts required to open for in-person instruction when Sonoma County falls into the red tier? SCLS response: SB 98 does allow districts to offer distance learning through the end of the year regardless of county tier status.
-
SPSA: SB 820 provides that all schools operating Title I, Part A SWP, including charter schools and single school districts (SSDs), must develop and approve a School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for the 2020–21 school year. Section 73 of SB 820 removes the requirement for charter schools and SSDs to establish a Schoolsite Council (SSC) in the 2020–21school year. Instead, SSD and charter schools are required to use the stakeholder engagement outlined in SB 98 for the LCP.
