Background:
Staff is presenting the District’s new 2021-24 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), the 2020-21 Federal Addendum, 2020-21 Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP) Annual Update, the 2019-20 LCAP Annual Update, and the Budget Overview for Parents for approval.
The plans were presented for public hearing and review at the June 3rd meeting of the Board of Trustees. The presentation is included for reference.
Two changes were made to the 2021-24 Local Control Accountability Plan since the June 3rd meeting:
1. The budgeted amount for the Director of Equity was adjusted to better represent the cost of that position.
2. The number of At-Risk Supervisors has been expanded from 7.0 FTE to 12.0 FTE so that every school site will have a 1.0 FTE and Graham Middle School will have 2.0 FTE. The decision was made in efforts to better support the needs of students as we transition back to full time, in-person learning.
Additionally, one member of the public asked questions during the public hearing. A copy of the written response is included for reference. On May 12, 2021 the District met with representatives from the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) to review the Districts LCAP draft to ensure that there were actions/services for individuals with exceptional needs. It was confirmed that the District’s LCAP does meet the standard required. The letter from the SELPA is attached as reference.
School districts in California must develop a three-year plan, the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), to explain their goals and strategies for improving achievement for all students and provide updates on the prior year’s plan successes and challenges through the annual update.
Working closely with stakeholders throughout the District to develop the 2021-24 LCAP and Strategic Plan 2027 five goals have been identified for focus within the next three years to improve outcomes for all students. These goals are directly aligned to the goal areas in Strategic Plan 2027 to ensure that the District’s work is transparent, aligned and targeted. The focus of both plans is on improving outcomes for students through implementing intentional and equitable actions.
