ACTION REQUIRED – Educator Effectiveness Local Plan

Dear School Business Professionals,
The Enacted State Budget included funding for the Educator Effectiveness Block Grant for eligible school districts, charter schools and county offices of Education. Allocations for eligible LEAs are available on the Educator Effectiveness Funding Results web page at www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/r14/edeffectiveness21result.asp. The California Department of Education plans to release the first apportionment of funds, reflecting 80 percent of the allocation for each LEA in mid to late fall 2021, and remaining funds will be released in spring 2022. These funds will have a new resource code of 6266, which has not yet been included in the SACS validation tables. Once it is updated in SACS, we can update the tables in Escape to include the new resource code. Districts will be notified when the new resource code is available to be added in Escape.
Districts must develop a local plan for the Educator Effectiveness Funds (EEF) and this plan must be heard in a public meeting of the governing board of the school district or governing body of the charter school before its adoption in a subsequent public meeting. This must take place on or before December 30, 2021.
To accommodate the plan presentation and adoption requirements, districts and charters will need to plan accordingly if they do not already have two scheduled board meetings in December. Other reporting deadlines and holiday schedules should be considered to determine if the Educator Effectiveness Local Plan will be first presented at the regularly scheduled November meeting or if a special meeting will be required. As noted above, the plan must be adopted on or before Dec. 30, 2021.
EEF may be used to support professional learning for certificated teachers, administrators, paraprofessional educators, and certificated staff. There are ten categories of allowable uses for the EFF. More information on the allowable uses of these funds can be found on the EFF program page of the CDE website: www.cde.ca.gov/pd/ee/eef2021faq.asp. The CDE will not be releasing a standardized plan template; therefore, districts and charters will need to develop its own plan format. We have attached a sample template from another County Education Office that may be used. This sample has also been shared with the SBCEO Curriculum Council. The ten categories for allowable uses of the EFF are detailed in the attached sample template.
Funds may be expended during the 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 fiscal years. An annual data and expenditure report will be due each year on or before September 30. A final data and expenditure report will be due on or before September 30, 2026. Any funds not expended by June 30, 2026, must be returned to the California Department of Education (CDE).
Please contact your DFA with any questions,
Regards,
