CALSA is accepting papers addressing important issues of practice concerning the education of linguistic minority and non-linguistic minority Latino students. The papers will be presented at the Fall 2010 CALSA Conclave to be held at UCD on October 15, 2010. CALSA has organized this conclave in collaboration with UCD in order to share information and foster partnerships between school district leaders and researchers at universities and other organizations. Papers may be based on academic research or teacher or administrator (action) research. For more information, click here.


News Alert

Dear School Superintendents, CALSA members and students:

Sorry for the confusion our change in rules has caused for awarding the 2010 CALSA student scholarship.  I am sorry that the information for how to obtain the scholarship check was not clear.  CALSA has adopted a new requirement for receiving payment.  Below please find the background information that will guide you to obtaining the scholarship.

The twenty student winners were selected before the end of the school year and their names posted on the CALSA website under Scholarships-2010-2011 Recipients.  This year the CALSA Board of Director’s adopted a new set of rules for the program.  Specifically that the winners would not receive their scholarship checks until proof of enrollment in a college or university was received at the CALSA office in Sacramento.  That proof would be a copy of an actual course schedule with the school and students name listed on the schedule. The class schedule is to be faxed to 916-444-3245 or mailed to:

ACSA
c/o CALSA Scholarship Program
1029 J Street, Suite 500
Sacramento CA

Because the CALSA scholarship application does not include a place where students can write down their personal information (home address, email, or telephone number) we have no way of connecting them directly.  I hope this helps clarify the situation.

Best Wishes,

Sal Villasenor
