The California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) provides the organizational mechanism for the 58 County Superintendents of Schools to design and implement statewide programs to identify and promote quality cost-effective educational practices and services, and provide support to school districts in the areas of student services, curriculum and instructional services, fiscal accountability and business services, and technology and telecommunications.

The Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) was created by legislation in 1992 as an independent and external state agency. FCMAT’s mission is to provide proactive and preventive fiscal, business and management services that help local educational agencies comply with fiscal accountability standards and incorporate best practices.
