Certify your LCFF data with Confidence!

This statewide training session is designed to help business-area administrators audit critical CALPADS Fall 1 reports used for LCFF and other funding purposes.

When student behavior is intense, complex, and high-stakes, common strategies often fall short. This training goes beyond surface-level approaches to focus on individualized, skilled interventions that truly make a difference. You'll learn practical tools that are often overlooked or misapplied in schools - strategies that help, not just manage, the most challenging behaviors. Special attention will be given to supporting students with trauma histories, mental health concerns, and those with extensive behavioral and developmental needs. Through case studies, discussion, and hands-on problem-solving, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of how to support students who need more than just the basics.
