District associations must be supported by evidence for the specific program and should not be copied automatically from the umbrella listing. The CDE 2026 follow-up report reviews the K–5 Writing Domain as a partial Program Type 1 submission. CDE source: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/im/documents/collbeingawriterk5.docx. The 2026 review-panel recommendation is advisory and does not establish final State Board adoption.
