Course-Based Independent Study

Course-based independent study (CBIS) offers local educational agencies a flexible way to deliver high-quality instruction through board-certified courses while generating average daily attendance (ADA) based on student enrollment and satisfactory progress, providing potential to reduce staff time and improve administrative efficiencies. As CBIS programs continue to expand, understanding the specific statutory and compliance requirements is critical to ensuring both program quality and audit readiness.

This roundtable will provide a targeted overview of CBIS requirements, including how courses must be annually certified, how attendance is earned, and the role of student engagement and progress. Participants will also explore key compliance considerations such as board policies, written agreements, and audit expectations. With a focused format and dedicated time for discussion, this session is designed to support practical implementation and address common questions.
