RSDSS Program Overview

Federal education legislation, No Child Left Behind (NCLB, 2001), requires all states to provide a statewide system of sustained support for districts and schools receiving Title I funding. In California, this support structure is organized through the state's configuration of eleven regions by the Regional System of District
and School Support (RSDSS). Each region, under the leadership of a consortium of county superintendents, provides regional coordination and collaboration of services through the RSDSS office for regional Title I low-performing schools.

Region 2, in the northeastern portion of California, consists of Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama and Trinity counties. These nine rural counties compose a geographic territory the size of Ohio. The Regional System of District and School Support for Region 2 operates from the Tehama County Department of Education in Red Bluff. RSDSS serves 135 districts with over 458 schools within this nine county area. Services and staff are distributed across the nine county region through hubs. The hub configuration is as follows:
