Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Arcia Dorosti presented the LCAP First Reading at the regular board meeting on May 20, 2021. The public hearing for the LCAP and LCAP Federal Addendum was at the regular board meeting on June 8, 2021. The LCAP and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding Local Educational Agencies’ (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5.
Districts are required to adopt the LCAP by July 1, 2021 and annually thereafter. In the interim years between adoptions, districts are required annually to update their LCAPs. Each year, districts must adopt (or update) their LCAPs prior to the adoption of their budget plans. Annual updates must review a school district’s progress towards meeting the goals set forth in its LCAP, assess the effectiveness of the specific actions taken toward achieving these goals, and describe any changes the district will make as a result of this review and assessment.
The school district also must specify the expenditures for the next fiscal year that will be used to support English Learners (EL), Low Income (LI), and foster youth students, as well as former EL reclassified as English proficient. The district must first hold at least one hearing to solicit recommendations and comments from the public regarding expenditures proposed in the plan. It then must adopt (or officially update) the LCAP at a subsequent hearing. |
