Welcome to our website.

Meet our dedicated team of innovators, educators, managers, consultants, designers, and school site specialists. We invite you to learn more about our products and services, our history and mission, and our proudest accomplishment of all: our people. Most of the dreamers, architects and builders of this success story have been with SI&A since inception.

We are a collaborative corps of hard-working, straight talking, and service-driven individuals. We believe in education. We can help you, your students and their families achieve great things.

We were founded in 2003, and have grown from our origins as the back-office facilitator for most of California’s school districts and county offices of education, into the creator of unparalleled products, most notably The Achievement Initiative, powered by Attention2Attendance® (A2A), a software solution that decreases school absenteeism by as much as 25 percent – and works 100 percent of the time.

Before expanding outside of California, we started as a compliance company dealing with the complex and constantly changing climate of state regulations, economic recession, school funding priorities and politically shifting paradigms.

Today our signature product – The Achievement Initiative – has created a new standard. The Achievement Initiative will improve your attendance numbers, bottom line and, most important, your students’ lives.

Application for the 2020-21 Mandate Block Grant Now Open

School districts, county offices of education, and charter schools can now apply for the 2020-21 mandate block grant here on the California Department of Education’s (CDE) website. Applications must be submitted electronically by August 31, 2020. Funding is anticipated to be allocated in mid-November based on 2019-20 P2 ADA figures.

· School districts will receive:

o $32.18 per k-8 ADA and

o $61.94 per 9-12 ADA

· County offices of education will receive:

o The same rates as above plus an additional $1.08 per countywide ADA

· Charter schools will receive:

o $16.86 per k-8 ADA and

o $46.87 per 9-12 ADA

To file online: Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) can use the same login password used in 2019-20. If you’ve forgotten your password or this is your LEA’s first time signing up for the block grant, you can contact the CDE for technical assistance by email at: mandate@cde.ca.gov or by phone at: 916-323-6191.

As a reminder, the Feminine Hygiene Products mandate claim remains outside the block grant and can still be filed by all applicable school districts and county offices of education that are required to provide feminine hygiene products to their students. We strongly advise you to file this claim since the Legislature will use the total statewide cost of claims filed to help set future block grant funding amounts.

If you have questions about this claim or about signing up for the block grant, please give me a call.
