Resources From Other CAIS Users

These resources have been shared by County Offices of Education currently supporting their districts' use of CAIS.

LACOE's CPM CAIS Presentation

Los Angeles County Office of Education

This PowerPoint training covers the major features of CAIS.

SDCOE's CPM CAIS Document Guide

San Diego County Office of Education

These resources identify by item, examples of documents that may be used to show compliance.

SBCEO's Local CPM "File Cabinet" Resource

Santa Barbara County Education Office

Under the "What’s New" heading on the homepage, you will find "Categorical Program Monitoring." These folders are a resource that LEAs can use to electronically "store" their documents by instrument and dimension. This will also make it easier to retrieve their documents for uploading to CAIS. Within each instrument is a file called "Table of Contents." This contains all of the current CPM items, the required or suggested documentation, and a place to make notes about file names, persons responsible, etc. This local "file cabinet" should not be confused with the CAIS File Cabinet.
