CSI LEA Reporting Requirements
Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) local educational agency (LEA) reporting requirements and due dates for each fiscal year (FY). The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires state educational agencies to determine school eligibility for CSI. LEAs with schools that meet the criteria for CSI must collaborate with educational partners to locally develop and implement a plan to improve student outcomes. The county office of education also plays a role in providing technical assistance and support to LEAs within its county that serve schools that meet the criteria for CSI.

Actual expenditures for each performance period within the subgrant period shall be reported to the CDE as part of regular subgrant management and administration. The table above details reporting information and timelines for FY 2023 CSI funds.
In addition to standard expenditure reporting requirements for each performance period, the LEA must submit a Budget Summary and Budget Narrative with Report 1. The Budget Summary will combine LEA- and school-level budget amounts by Object Code for each authorized funding category, as applicable.
In addition, Report 2 requires the LEA to report the date the CSI plan was approved/adopted by the school and LEA. The Final Report and Subgrant Evaluation requires the LEA to submit final expenditure data, a Final Budget Summary, and a Subgrant Performance Report. The CDE will provide additional guidance for reporting requirements. If the CDE does not receive the required reports, funding may be delayed or the CDE may bill the LEA to recover funds distributed to the LEA.
Reported expenditures are used for the purpose of calculating the LEA’s apportionment. The use of federal funds must be consistent with the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards; ESSA requirements, and requirements in the 2023‒24 ESSA CSI LEA Application for Funding.
The acceptance and approval of reported expenditures does not preclude the CDE in any way from conducting program monitoring or audits.
