Azusa Unified holds public hearing on 2025–26 LCAP; plan emphasizes equity, six goals
Summary
District staff presented the proposed 2025–26 Local Control and Accountability Plan, which outlines six goals, metrics for student subgroups and an equity multiplier allocation of $167,151 for Sierra High School. The board opened and closed the required public hearing June 17; adoption is scheduled for June 24.
Azusa Unified School District presented its proposed 2025–26 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) during a public hearing Tuesday evening, outlining six district goals and the steps the district says it will take to direct supplemental and concentration funds toward English learners, foster youth and low‑income students.
Adriana Garcia Medina, director of educational services, told the Board of Education the LCAP “allows our district to spend supplemental and concentration funds that we receive from the state of California” and described the plan as the second year of a three‑year cycle of work that ties goals to metrics and funding.
The proposed plan lists six goals: increase student achievement; accelerate English‑learner progress and language proficiency; prepare students for college and postsecondary opportunities; improve family engagement; ensure a safe and restorative school climate; and a site‑specific equity multiplier goal for Sierra High School. Garcia Medina said Sierra is the only site that meets the state criteria for the equity multiplier and would receive $167,151 to address needs laid out in the plan.
District staff described multiple ways the LCAP was developed and revised: input from the parent advisory committee, a student advisory council, a district annual survey, site principal presentations and the district English Language Advisory Committee. The document includes a “budget overview for parents,” an annual update reporting progress on metrics, and action tables showing planned expenditures tied to LCAP goals.
Board members opened and closed the public hearing without public comment. Garcia Medina said the district will present the LCAP for adoption at the June 24 board meeting and will submit it to the Los Angeles County Office of Education on or before June 30, as required by county directives.
Why it matters: The LCAP legally documents how Azusa Unified intends to direct supplemental state funding to narrow gaps among student subgroups. The plan’s metrics and funding allocations will shape programs, staffing and services for the coming school year.
