Annual Request for Approval

Process for Districts that are on Performance Watch (Priority Improvement, Turnaround or On Watch, years 0+)

In addition to submitting the reduced academic calendar application through Data Pipeline, districts on Performance Watch that are submitting a district-wide application for all schools within the district to be on a reduced academic calendar need to submit the following additional information: 

• A copy of their respective school calendars
• Any applicable schedules, including building class schedules, assembly schedules and/or bell schedule including lunch time interval
• A copy of their professional development calendar if not included in the overall school calendar

CDE will review the additional materials for the use and prioritization of instructional time. The executive director of Field Services and the Associate Commissioner of School Quality and Support must recommend approval of the application before it is forwarded to the commissioner for consideration.
