The Capital Service Region (Region 3) aligned with the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) regions. Region 3 serves Alpine, Colusa, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties.
The SMAA program allows school districts and county offices to be reimbursed federal dollars for costs incurred while performing certain administrative activities. Employees record the time worked on these activities one week each quarter, and then a claim is submitted based on this information.
