FORM 01CSI—CRITERIA AND STANDARDS REVIEW—INTERIM (not applicable for end of year projections)

In accordance with Education Code Section 42131[1240], school districts [COEs] are required to conduct a minimum of two interim reviews of their budgets during the fiscal year. The Criteria and Standards Review form used for first and second interim reporting is similar in format to that used in the budget process, but the applicable Criteria and Standards vary.

COEs are responsible for reviewing interim certifications for school districts and JPAs within their jurisdiction and are required to report to the State Controller and State Superintendent indicating the type of certification (positive, qualified, negative) filed by each district. The CDE is responsible for reviewing interim certifications for COEs and school districts for which the county board of education also serves as the district governing board. The reviewing agency will confirm or reclassify the interim certifications.

Overview of the Criteria and Standards, Supplemental Information, and Additional Fiscal Indicators—Interim

Because of the many similarities between the Criteria and Standards for the budget and interim periods, this section summarizes the interim standards and data sources. Additional information, including the purpose for each item and additional data detail, is available in the budget period section, Form 01CS—Criteria and Standards Review—Budget.

NOTE: The interim Criteria and Standards Review form for the first interim extracts budget adoption data, when available. The dataset must be in a non-draft state.
