District presents year‑two LCAP update; adds elementary counselor and targeted intervention teachers
Summary
In its first mid‑cycle update under a three‑year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), district staff proposed two additions — an elementary counselor and five targeted intervention/instructional coaching positions — and reported that most LCAP actions will remain unchanged for year two.
Atascadero Unified presented its second‑year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) update to the board, describing progress on district goals and recommending budget‑neutral staffing adjustments intended to strengthen tier‑1 instruction and social‑emotional supports.
Staff said the district’s three LCAP goals remain focused on academic achievement, climate and culture, and professional development. EJ Rossi, who led the presentation, said roughly 85% of the plan is unchanged from the year‑one baseline and that two additions are recommended for the coming year: an elementary counselor to reduce site sharing of counseling resources and five targeted intervention teachers who also will serve as instructional coaches to support language acquisition and tier‑1 instruction.
Rossi said the district’s unduplicated pupil percentage was about 49.17% this year (49.19% projected next year) and that supplemental funding tied to that count supports the LCAP services. He described the intervention/coaching positions as funded within re‑prioritized LCAP resources and intended to provide direct student interventions and on‑site coaching for teachers to strengthen classroom instruction.
The board was told the LCAP is a three‑year plan with a June public hearing and final approval scheduled for the June board meeting; staff will present a complete final LCAP for certification on June 3 and seek formal board approval at a subsequent meeting. No actions were removed from the plan; staff said the changes are intended to bolster existing tier‑1 supports and counseling access at elementary schools.
