FCMAT’s mission is to help California's local educational agencies fulfill their financial and management responsibilities by providing fiscal advice, management assistance, training and other related school business services. .
CSBA has worked on behalf of FCMAT to develop assessments and improvement plans for school districts in the area of governance and community relations. Such a plan includes the areas of (1) Board Policies, Responsibilities and Boardsmanship; (2) Communication Systems; and (3) Community Collaboratives and Advisory Councils. To evaluate these areas, CSBA assesses the professional and legal standards as predetermined by FCMAT relating to internal and external communications; parent/community relations; community collaboratives; district advisory committees and school site councils; policy; board roles/boardsmanship; and board meetings..
