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.

Pandemic Updates in Safety Plans

Safety Plans: Updating Pandemic Outbreak/Infectious Disease Section

In the last several weeks, we are happy that we have been able to connect with so many of our district partners. Through our conversations, we have been answering questions and providing additional resources and guidance as needed.

In our quest to continue to support our clients, especially during this corona virus pandemic, we wanted to get our top request for guidance out to all of our clients - updating your school safety plans Pandemic Outbreak/Infectious Disease section.

Please find below a collection of resources that will help your schools revise all sections including Mitigation/Prevention, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery.

CDC Guidance for Schools - This is the latest guidance for administrators to plan, prepare, and respond to COVID-19 including information to help administrators plan for continuity of teaching and learning during an infectious disease breakout.
CDC Pandemic Flu Checklist - This PDF includes actions to take in the areas of Mitigation/Prevention, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery.
USDE Pandemic Flu Newsletter (click on the URL link to download the PDF) - This provides useful information on how schools can respond to infectious disease outbreaks.

Another area you may want to consider updating is your existing board policy BP/AR 3516 - Emergencies and Disaster Preparedness Plan. As we experience new challenges with COVID-19, CSBA shared information on updating this Board Policy/Administrative Regulation.

Click HERE to go to CSBA's blog.

We hope you find this information helpful and as always, we are here to help. If you have any questions or there are other areas you need guidance on, please feel free to reach out to me.

Stay safe and until next time,

Mike Brown, Good Governance Program Manager
