District Assistance/County Capacity Building

The District Intervention and Capacity Building Project is a joint initiative of the California Department of Education (CDE) and the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) with support from the California Comprehensive Assistance Center (CA CC) and private foundation support. For more information, please visit http://cacompcenter.org/dait-rcb.

Regional Capacity Building (RCB) Component
The RCB component focuses on developing the expertise and support provided by County Superintendents to support and assist districts to improve student achievement. Regions work together to develop county and regional expertise to ensure that districts within their county/region have access to the necessary resources for district and school improvement. Each of the eleven CCSESA regions has been grant funded to increase support to districts and to develop and disseminate tools and processes that support district improvement and student achievement.

District Assistance and Intervention Team (DAIT) Component
Fifteen pilot districts in Program Improvement (PI) or at-risk of PI are working with an external DAIT to complete a comprehensive needs assessment, prioritize a set of high leverage action steps in their Local Educational Agency (LEA) Plan and receive support for implementation of these systemic district changes to improve student achievement.
