District and School Support
Overview of District and School Support Services

The mission of the District and School Support program is to build and sustain the capacity necessary to improve the success of all students by partnering with districts and schools as they endeavor to implement organizational practices that:
  • Help all students meet standards
  • Increase student achievement levels of all students
  • Select/adopt appropriate instructional materials
  • Meet the needs of English language learners
  • Strengthen administrative leadership
  • Improve administrator expertise in content knowledge and pedagogy
  • Reduce barriers to student achievement
We do this by customizing services to meet the needs of individual schools and districts sharing information and resources about emerging issues and initiatives, collaborating with partner organizations, the Regional System of District and School Support, and institutes of higher learning to build leadership to support effective systemic change, and fostering collaborative partnerships among Solano County community groups including districts, teachers, school site administrators, parents, business and community leaders.

We provide technical assistance and organizational tools for streamlining multiple state and federal planning requirements into a single data-driven, comprehensive school plan. We are also available to guide schools and provide technical assistance and support to districts as they coordinate programs and funds from multiple federal and state sources into single, focused, fully integrated reform effort which includes:
  • Developing and implementing a district Local Educational Agency Plan (LEAP) and site Single Plan For Student Achievement (SPSA)
  • Developing and implementing effective intervention programs
  • Developing and implementing effective programs for English Learner students
  • Categorical Program Implementation and  Evaluation via the Categorical Program Monitoring (CPM) process
In addition, the District and School Support program is committed to the improvement of the academic achievement of all students as a partner with the Napa County and Contra Costa County Offices of Education as a CDE approved School Assistance and Intervention Team (SAIT) and District Assistance and Intervention Team (DAIT). The teams provide assistance to districts and schools in Program Improvement and to schools in the High Priority School Grant Program that have not met their growth targets.
