CAHSEE INTERVENTION

The Valenzuela Settlement, established in January 2008, has transformed the CAHSEE intervention landscape for students in California. Funding is provided for intensive instruction and supportive services for grades 11-12 and beyond, ensuring that students who struggle with the CAHSEE have access to resources and options. Key provisions include extensive notification requirements for students, compliance documentation, and ongoing support post-graduation. Districts must offer individualized programs designed to assist students in improving their skills in English Language Arts and Math, particularly for underprivileged students.
