Determinations as to how billions of dollars in state and federal aid will be distributed is happening now, in real time, and CSDA needs continued current data to advocate on your behalf.

The survey below will provide the information necessary to effectively advocate on your behalf. Without this information, given the extreme budget shortfalls anticipated at every level of government, special districts are not likely to be included in any fiscal relief considerations at the state or federal levels.

TAKE SURVEY

This is the second survey CSDA has conducted on this topic and there will likely be additional surveys to come as districts continue to realize impacts of the virus, identify actions needed,  and determine the effect COVID-19 response is having on operations and budget over the short and long term. Results of the first survey can be found on the take action page on CSDA’s website.

It is important that every district take the time to fill out this survey to the best of their knowledge. At stake is a portion of billions of dollars in resources flowing to California and any aid special districts may be able to access.

CSDA will only report data in the aggregate; no information specific to your district will be shared without your direct explicit consent.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2020.
