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.

Embrace the Ugly: Chronic Absenteeism Surges

In Tuesday's webinar, co-hosted with Hedy Chang, Executive Director of Attendance Works, SI&A released the first data report on California's chronic absenteeism, a report requested by the California Department of Education. On average, across 33 diverse school districts serving 330,000 students, data showed nearly one in five students have missed 10 percent of school so far this year.

Albeit disheartening to see the pandemic's impact on education, there are strategies districts can put in place to identify why students aren't attending and adjust interventions to meet individual needs.

Watch the webinar to learn more or read this article By Linda Jacobson, writer for T74.

My goal is to give every school district immediate support with critical data and engagement strategies to raise student outcomes. How's the data looking in your district?

Let's schedule a meeting to see how quickly we can get you started!
