Meeting the Challenge: The Cal-PASS Initiative
California Partnership for Achieving Student Successwww.calpass.org
“Success at Every Level”
The Challenge
“…the coursework between high school and college is not connected; students graduate from high school under one set of standards and, three months later, are required to meet a whole new set of standards in college.” Venezia, Kirst, & Antonio, 2002
“… an unacceptable number of college students must take costly remedial classes. Moreover there is a troubling and persistent gap between the college attendance and graduation rates of low-income Americans and their more affluent peers.” Spellings, September 2006
“Education has been unable to systematically document what happens to students leaving K-12. This inability leads has serious implications for policy formation, foundation investment, etc” Tessa Carmen DeRoy, The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation, 2006
“Success at Every Level”
What is Cal-PASS?
Informed by data, powered by inspiration and developed through collaboration, Cal-PASS partners identify problems, develop local solutions, and scale them across regions and the state to achieve student success at every level.
“Success at Every Level”
The California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (Cal-PASS)
- Began in 1998 in response to disconnects in CA among the K-12, community college, and four-year degree granting segments
- Includes K-12 schools, colleges and universities- 29 universities (includes some private postsecondary)- 105 community colleges- Over 4,000 K-12 schools
- Is regionally based
- Over 200 million student records
- Funded by the state
- 55 Professional Learning Communities (PLC)
- Empower PLC to innovate

“Success at Every Level”
Accountability5S1: Secondary Placement 113(b)(2)(A)(v)
Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators who left secondary education and were placed in postsecondary education or advanced training…in the second quarter following the program year in which they left secondary education (i.e. unduplicated placement status for CTE concentrators who graduated by June 30, 2007 would be assessed between October 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007).
Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who left secondary education during the reporting year.
Request for Applications (RFA) for Tech Prep Program Allocations
Each community college or high school district within your consortium must be fully signed up with Cal-PASS….In other words in order for secondary or postsecondary to be a member of your consortium they must be a data submitting member of CalPASS.
If a consortium has developed an alternative data collection system unconnected to CalPASS that meets all of the Performance and Accountability measures of Title II Section 203(e) the Project Director should contact their Project Monitor to get advanced permission (before the May 5th application due date) for exemption from using CalPASS.
