The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) Program and Budget Handbook is designed to support school teams in developing high-quality school plans and aligning federal resources (i.e., Title I and Title III) with strategies and actions aimed at improving student academic achievement.
The Handbook includes budgeting guidelines and terminology, a helpful “Budget-at-a-Glance” section that lists frequently funded items by program indicating under which programs they may be purchased, and other useful resources.
In addition to the Handbook, schools are encouraged to visit the Federal and State Education Programs (FSEP) website for access to tools that support data analysis, root cause identification, and the selection of evidence-based interventions.
Regional Title I Coordinators and Emergent Bilingual Coordinators along with staff from the Federal and State Education Programs (FSEP) and Multilingual Multicultural Education Department (MMED), are available to assist schools in developing plans that maximize resources to best support Emergent Bilingual and students who are not yet proficient in California content standards.
Finally, we welcome your comments and suggestions on how we can better support your efforts to ensure all students are on a path to becoming college and career ready.
