The Superintendent is the executive officer and secretary of the California State Board of Education and the director of the California Department of Education (CDE). The CDE administers California’s public education system at the state level. The Superintendent administers the day-to-day operations of the CDE and also is responsible for two schools for the deaf, one school for the blind, and three diagnostic centers. In addition to serving as a University of California Regent, the Superintendent serves as an ex officio member of the California State University and the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing boards of trustees.

ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY BRANCH Deputy Superintendent (916) 319-0812 William Padia FAX (916) 319-0109 The Assessment and Accountability Branch is responsible for programs designed to promote district and school accountability for improving student achievement.

The Policy and Evaluation Division supports research and evaluation activities and reports both state and federal accountability results under the heading of “Accountability Progress Reporting” (APR). The APR includes the state Academic Performance Index (API) that is used to measure the academic success of a school on the basis of how much it improves annually and the federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and Program Improvement (PI) reports required by the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. In addition to producing the School Accountability Report Card, the division also administers state and federal programs that give awards to teachers and schools. The School and District Accountability Division oversees the state Categorical Program Monitoring (CPM) process. This division also provides technical assistance to meet the educational needs of English learners and exercises policy and program responsibilities for NCLB Title I. The Data Management Division collects, analyzes, and disseminates data about California’s public schools and school districts; promotes the effective use of technology in California’s schools; and works to develop and coordinate both the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System and the California School Information Services (CSIS).
