The Williams Settlement Legislation requires county superintendents of schools to monitor and report on schools eligible for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) and Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI) based on the 2019 California School Dashboard; and/or schools with fifteen percent or more teachers who did not possess a valid and clear or preliminary teaching credential in 2020-2021. The California Department of Education (CDE) provides the list of schools throughout the state that are eligible for monitoring.
County superintendents are responsible for:
Conducting annual visits during the first four weeks of the school year to determine the sufficiency of textbooks and instructional materials in the core subject areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, and history-social science for elementary and secondary schools, and foreign language and health for secondary schools only
Conducting school facility inspections to determine good repair status
Reporting data regarding teacher misassignments and vacancies
Verifying the accuracy of the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) relevant to instructional materials and facilities maintenance
Reporting findings annually to the governing board of each school district, the county board of education, and the county board of supervisors
