Preschool Language Information System (PLIS) Overview

In August 2022, the Early Education Division (EED) at the California Department of Education (CDE) released Management Bulletin 22-04, which informed California State Preschool Program (CSPP) contractors of new requirements for identifying and collecting data on dual language learners, language characteristics of preschool programs, and language composition of program staff.

In order to meet these new requirements, the PLIS was established for data collection. This data will be collected in a quarterly PLIS Report. The reporting schedule for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 will be as follows:
