Extends CAB Publishing's special education records audit to Oct. 31, 2024 at the same $35,000 limit
This extends the contract with CAB Publishing Company, LLC, from June 30, 2024 to October 31, 2024, so it can keep auditing special education records. The audit looks at why African-American/Black students are identified at high rates under the Other Health Impairment category, as flagged by the California Department of Education, and suggests improvements. A companion data sharing agreement (DSA) covers how student data is shared and protected. The $35,000 limit does not change.
