Sustainability Plan 2026 |
Career and College Transition Division |
| Welcome to the Sustainability Plan for the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP). This plan is a required submission starting in year two of your implementation grant cycle in addition to your Annual Progress Report (APR). It is designed to assist in planning and implementing strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of your efforts. Additionally, it encourages reflection as part of an ongoing process of continuous improvement. |
| This version of the Sustainability Plan is intended to serve as a transitional tool for the 2025-26 year. For future reporting cycles, sustainability planning will be directly embedded into the APR. |
Understanding the Sustainability Plan and Annual Progress Report |
While both the Sustainability Plan and the Annual Progress Report (APR) are essential, they serve different but complementary purposes:
The Sustainability Plan: Focuses on securing long-term funding, partnerships, and systems to sustain the program beyond the grant.
The Annual Progress Report: Focuses on implementation, progress monitoring, outcomes, and accountability. |
Key Guidance for Completing the Sustainability Plan |
| Reflect on the Long-Term Vision: As you fill out the Sustainability Plan, consider your community’s long-term goals. Reflect on how your current efforts align with both immediate needs and future aspirations. |
| Identify Key Strategies for Sustainability: Focus on strategies for securing long-term funding and developing lasting partnerships. Consider community resources, volunteer support, and other funding streams that will help ensure the sustainability of your strategy. How will these resources continue to support your efforts once the grant period ends? |
| Focus on Program and Fiscal Sustainability: Your plan should address both programmatic and fiscal sustainability. This means ensuring that the services you provide continue to meet the needs of your school community while securing the financial resources needed to support them. |
| Align with the California Community Schools Framework: Your Sustainability Plan should align with the California Community Schools Framework and other available resources, such as the Community Schools Implementation Plan Template and the Capacity Building Strategies. |
| Additional Considerations: This plan should be developed collaboratively with your school’s leadership team, involving students, staff, families, and community partners to ensure broad input and ownership. Keep in mind that sustainability is an ongoing journey. If you need support in completing the form or have any questions, please reach out to the State Transformational Assistance Center (S-TAC). |
