What this document actually says
This policy, last revised April 15, 2025, requires the Board to adopt an annual Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) by July 1 each year. The LCAP is a comprehensive budget and planning document that sets goals for improving student outcomes, particularly for vulnerable groups like English learners, low-income students, foster youth, and students with disabilities. The district must consult with teachers, parents, students, and community members when developing the LCAP. Two advisory committees must be established: a Parent Advisory Committee and an English Learner Parent Advisory Committee (when enrollment includes at least 15% English learners with 50+ students). The Board must hold public hearings, respond to feedback, and submit the plan to the County Superintendent for approval. The LCAP drives how the district spends its funding to meet student needs.
What this means for your family
Parents have formal opportunities to influence how the district spends money and sets educational priorities through advisory committees and public hearings. The LCAP directly affects your child's education by determining programs, services, and resources the district provides. Parents of English learners, low-income students, foster youth, and students with disabilities have guaranteed seats on advisory committees and the district must specifically address these students' needs in its goals and budget.
