FY 2022-2023 Unduplicated Student Count for Significant Disproportionality Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services Report  form is required to be completed for any CCEIS services provided to students (unduplicated) during the 2022-23 school year.

NOTE: Although the 2020 CCEIS cohort ended September 30, 2022; there may have been students who received CCEIS services from July 1, 2022, to September 30, 2022. Please include those students on this form. 

If you are a continuing CCEIS local educational agency, and are in the 2021 and 2022 CCEIS cohort, you will be counting all students (unduplicated) for all three years: 2020, 2021, and 2022. Just count the student one time, even if the student has received multiple services and/or over the multiple years. Gather all unduplicated students and report on one form, then submit to the California Department of Education.

This form is due to SigDisp@cde.ca.gov no later than October 10, 2023.

Please contact your California Department of Education, Focused Monitoring and Technical Assistance (FMTA) Unit Consultant, if you have any questions.
