What are the requirements for my district if Title IV (Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities) funding ends?
If the district is still receiving any funding, including carry-over of 2009-10 funding it is still required to conduct the CHKS in grades 5, 7, 9 and 11 as previously, according to the requirements listed below. This is also true for districts that receive any state TUPE funding. If you also intend to apply for a TUPE grant, you will need CHKS data for the grade-levels in the application. However, to reduce the survey burden on districts that are no longer receiving Title IV funds, CDE encourages districts to continue survey administration in the minimum grade-levels of 7 and 9, although schools can elect to survey other grades as well.
