District reports it met all five local indicators in LCAP overview; data to be posted to California Dashboard

District staff presented an overview of the Gateway Unified School District’s local indicators under the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and told the board the district met all five local indicators this year.

What staff reported: Staff outlined the five local indicators the district self-assesses — basic conditions, academic standards, parent engagement, school climate and access to a broad course of study — and explained the evidence used to support each rating. Examples cited included Williams Act compliance for materials and facilities, professional development tied to curriculum adoption, ParentSquare communications, community nights, increased dual enrollment and CTE opportunities, and partnerships supporting school climate and behavior interventions.

Staff said the district will submit the local indicators report for the California Dashboard by July 1; the state updates the public dashboard on Nov. 15. The presenter noted the district’s work with Measure J-funded facility improvements and ongoing curriculum alignment efforts to support priority areas.

Why it matters: LCAP local indicators are part of the state’s accountability tools and inform how districts articulate goals and investments for students. Meeting local indicators signals that the district believes it has adequate conditions and systems in place for these self-assessed priorities.

Board reaction: Board members asked questions about differences between sites and noted pockets of improvement at schools such as Buckeye; staff said site-by-site differences exist but did not report a systemic discrepancy that would alter the district-wide rating.

No board action was required; staff will post the report and submit data to the state dashboard.
