Honoring California’s Model SARBs
CASCWA & CDE Partnership
CASCWA is honored to partner with the California Department of Education to recognize and celebrate School Attendance Review Boards (SARBs) that exemplify best practices in supporting students and families. Each year, Model SARB recognition is awarded to districts and counties across California that have demonstrated excellence in reducing chronic absenteeism, addressing barriers to school attendance, and fostering collaboration between schools, families, and community agencies. To learn more about the vital role that SARBs play in supporting regular school attendance, attend a State SARB Meeting hosted by the CA Dept of Ed.
2026 Model SARB Recognition Program
Model SARBs represent the highest standard of practice in student attendance and engagement. They showcase how cross-sector collaboration can build stronger systems of support for students, ensuring that challenges such as transportation, health, housing, and other barriers do not stand in the way of learning. More information regarding the date and time of the 2026 Model SARB Application workshop will be available soon.
