Reminders
Non-District Organization Access to GAINS (12/1/2025)

Non-district organizations, such as Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), Facility Schools, or Institutes of Higher Education (IHEs), should use the Non-District Organization GAINS Access Form to request access to GAINS.

Charter School personnel needing access to GAINS (or updates to current user roles) should use the Charter School GAINS Access Form. Please note that, although Charter Schools will be able to login and submit their own applications through GAINS, they will still need to identify an LEA Fiscal Representative and LEA Authorized Representative from their authorizing district or the Charter School Institute. Changes to users from authorizing districts who need access to the Charter School profiles can also be submitted through this form.
