What is Comprehensive Support and Improvement?
Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) and Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI) are School Improvement Funds (Section 1003) identified by the United States Department's Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
Through an application process, the district elects to apply for the funds supporting schools identified to meet the school improvement requirements.
School Improvement Funds (Section 1003) are not a new concept and, in the past, were known more recently as School Improvement Grant (SIG) funds.
The California Department of Education has determined the school site's School Plan for Student Achievement will be the mechanism to articulate the evidence-based resources and support to respond to improving student outcomes. Furthermore, the district is required to provide an overview of their support to identified CSI schools.
Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) Prompts:
Stockton Unified School District (SUSD) as part of the district's Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) development responded to prompts describing the district's support of schools identified that met the criteria of Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI).
The full 23-24 LCAP is available at the 2022-23 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
The CSI Prompts are available in the LCAP starting on page 23-27 of the PDF document.

Additionally, the same exit criteria for CSI Low Performing applies for ATSI, but at the student group level.
The CDE first determined school eligibility for ATSI in the 2018–19 school year using the 2017 and 2018 Dashboards. Additionally, school eligibility was determined in the 2019–20 school year using the 2018 and 2019 Dashboards to incorporate results of the English Learner Progress Indicator and to align with the Local Control and Accountability Plan cycle. School eligibility will again be determined in 2022–23 using only one year of Dashboard data from the 2022 Dashboard.
