About the Annual Progress Report (APR)
Welcome to the CCSPP Annual Progress Report (APR). The APR is more than a compliance requirement—it is a vital tool for reflection, continuous improvement, and strengthening the long-term sustainability of community schools across California.
Why the APR matters:
-
Continuous Improvement: Supports reflection on implementation efforts and informs ongoing growth and decision-making
-
Statewide Reporting: Data is shared with the California Department of Education (CDE) and the State Legislature to demonstrate the impact of CCSPP grants
-
Strategic Support: Helps LEAs, County Offices of Education (COEs), and Regional Technical Assistance Centers (R-TACs) target resources and technical assistance where they are most needed
-
Shared Learning: Identifies promising practices and contributes to tools like the APR Visualization Tool and statewide summative reports
-
Sustainability & Alignment: Strengthens implementation, guides support systems, and promotes alignment across community schools statewide
Site-Level APR
The Site-Level APR serves as a reflective “boots-on-the-ground” assessment of how the Community Schools model is coming to life at individual school sites. This report focuses on the local assets, needs, and direct services provided to students and families. By evaluating progress across the CCSPP’s five capacity-building strategies, school sites can document their growth from initial exploration to deep, sustainable integration of the Four Pillars.
LEA-Level APR
The LEA-Level APR provides a high-level synthesis of the Community Schools initiative across the entire district or county office. This report moves beyond individual school data to address systemic alignment with the LCAP, fiscal accountability, and long-term sustainability planning. It serves as the official administrative record of how the grant is being managed to ensure that site-level successes are supported by robust, district-wide infrastructure.
