Inspired by the conceptual framework behind a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), California’s statewide system of support will align state and regional resources to support improvement for all schools and districts. This multi-tiered approach will provide support to LEAs and schools within California’s integrated local, state, and federal accountability and continuous improvement system. It builds on three levels of supports: Support for All LEAs and Schools, Differentiated Assistance, and Intensive Intervention, as shown in Table A below. Table 21.

The California School Dashboard will provide all LEAs and schools with data regarding student performance on the state and local performance indicators and will highlight disparities among student groups on those indicators. This will guide LEAs and schools as they review and update their LCAPs annually.
