Item Type:Information
Background:

In 2019-20, the California Department of Education identified Alameda Unified School District as one of many districts across the state showing “significant disproportionality.” Specifically, for three years in a row, African-American students in AUSD have been identified as children with disabilities in two different special education categories at a higher rate than their peers of other races. 

Because of this pattern of significant disproportionality, the CDE has mandated AUSD to:

  • Develop and submit a Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS) Plan (due 12/15/2020)
  • Convene a CCEIS Stakeholder Team 
  • Develop a Special Education Plan (SEP) (due 12/15/2020)

At the October 13, 2020 Board of Education Meeting, staff presented to the Board and the community an Introduction to AUSD's Significant Disproportionality Process. Tonight staff will present:
