Consolidated Application and Reporting Systems (CARS)

Overview

Overview

The Consolidated Application and Reporting System (CARS) is the California Department of Education's online system for Consolidated Application submissions. Districts, county offices, and eligible charter schools use it to apply for participating state and federal programs and submit required funding, program, and expenditure information.

Program and funding requests draw on financial and student-service information maintained elsewhere. Program managers and business staff reconcile the reporting period, funding source, and expenditure totals before submission. Local source data and the submission or administration record have different owners. Coordinators reconcile the relevant population, dates, and status as the reporting cycle progresses.

The Consolidated Application (ConApp) is used by the California Department of Education (CDE) to distribute categorical funds from various state and federal programs to county offices, school districts, and direct-funded charter schools throughout California. Annually, in May, each local educational agency (LEA) submits the spring release of the application to document participation in these programs and provide assurances that the district will comply with the legal requirements of each program. Program entitlements are determined by formulas contained in the laws that created the programs.
