Jefferson Union presents 2025 local indicators, notes gains and equity gaps in a‑g completion
Summary
Deputy Superintendent Corinne Baca and Dr. Laurie Robinson presented the district’s 2025 local indicators and LCAP priorities, showing improvements in credentialing and a‑g completion but persistent disparities for English learners and students with disabilities.
The Jefferson Union High School District presented its 2025 local indicators and recommended the 2025–26 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), highlighting district improvements and ongoing equity gaps.
Deputy Superintendent Corinne Baca summarized statewide local indicators required by the California Department of Education and reported that 80.8% of district teachers held "clear" credentials — a 1.5 percentage point increase from the prior year — while out‑of‑field assignments decreased to 5.9% and intern placements fell to 0.7%.
Baca reported the district met the Williams Act requirement that students have access to standards‑aligned instructional materials and said facility inspections showed no instances of buildings falling below the state's good‑repair standard for 2024–25. "These results will also be publicly available through the California dashboard using state approved self reflection tools," she said.
Dr. Laurie Robinson walked the board through Priority 2 (implementation of state standards) and described pilots and curriculum work in English language arts, math, history, career technical education and other areas. Robinson said teachers piloted CommonLit units in ninth‑grade English and that math is in a pre‑pilot stage.
Priority 3 (family engagement) and Priority 6 (school climate) drew questions from trustees. Baca said 65% of eleventh graders reported feeling connected to a caring adult on the California Healthy Kids Survey (a 5 percentage‑point increase) while 57% of ninth graders reported feeling connected; trustees asked staff to disaggregate the survey data by school site and student subgroups for future reports.
Priority 7 metrics show district improvement in a‑g completion rates, rising from 44% (class of 2021) to 54% (class of 2024). Baca said the 2024 a‑g completion rate by subgroup included Asian students at 75%, students of two or more races at 64%, Filipino students at 58%, white students at 55%, Hispanic/Latino students at 42% and African American students at 38%. Site rates varied widely: Oceana at 78.3%, Jefferson at 64.2%, Terra Nova at 55.5%, Westmore at 49.2% and Thornton at 0% for that cohort. Board members asked staff to further analyze Westmore and Terra Nova outcomes and to provide per‑pupil changes alongside percentage changes.
Baca recommended the board approve the 2025–26 LCAP; trustees approved the plan by voice vote during the meeting.
