Facility School Directory
Approved Facility Schools Overview
- Facility schools are residential, day treatment, and hospital programs approved by CDE to receive school finance funding, hire their own teachers, and provide educational services to the students placed with them by a public agency.
- Legislation in 2008 established the Facility School Unit at CDE, provided funding for developing a centralized student record system for facility schools, and established the Facility Schools Board.
- The Facility Schools Board is charged with adopting graduation requirements and is given authority to issue high school diplomas to students enrolled in facility schools. It is also charged with developing/adopting curriculum to be implemented by all facility schools and implementing an accountability system for facility schools.
