The Caifornia School Dashboard evaluates schools across multiple performance indicators and identifies schools and districts that benefit from targeted support and assistance from their county office of education. LACOE's differentiated assistance teams strive to help districts build capacity, foster collaboration and identify areas where systems can be strengthened.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires state educational agencies to determine school eligibility for comprehensive support and improvement (CSI). Local educational agencies (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. LACOE supports districts gain understanding of ESSA CIS and align their LCAP to their SPSA throght systems thinking and Improvement Science.

Successful school-family partnerships raise student achievement, improve wellbeing and enhance local communities. LACOE's trainings and communities of practice offer networking opportunities for learning and growth as districts develop their individualized approach to this work.
