What this document actually says
Reed Union School District's 2025-26 LCAP outlines a total budget of $33.1 million, with $22.8 million from state LCFF funding. The district serves 1,043 students across three schools (Reed PreK-2nd, Bel Aire 3rd-5th, Del Mar 6th-8th). The plan allocates $372,773 to support high-needs students (foster youth, English learners, and low-income students), exceeding the required $163,410 minimum. Key focus areas include reducing chronic absenteeism (particularly for Asian and socioeconomically disadvantaged students), strengthening tutoring programs, and improving Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Students show strong performance: 85% meeting/exceeding ELA standards and 86% in Mathematics on MAP testing. The district refined its LCAP based on stakeholder feedback to create more focused, measurable goals.
