Pomona Unified official urges community to complete LCAP survey to shape state-funded priorities

Alejandro Villa, director of state and federal programs for the Pomona Unified School District, encouraged Pomona residents to complete the district's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) survey, saying the LCAP guides how state funding is used and addresses eight state-established priorities for student services and outcomes.

Villa described the eight priorities as focusing on basic services, implementation of state academic standards, parent involvement, student achievement, student engagement, school climate, access to courses and other student outcomes. He said the district reviews the LCAP annually to align spending with student needs and that community feedback informs those decisions.

Villa told the meeting transcript that the district's LCAP survey will be available beginning Jan. 21 and that the secondary school with the highest percentage of student responses will receive a special prize. He provided a district phone contact during his remarks (transcribed as 909-397-4800, ext. 2628) and referenced a district website for the survey; the spoken URL was transcribed in the record as "www USD o r" and was not specified more precisely in the transcript.

The remarks in the meeting transcript were delivered in Spanish and framed as an outreach appeal: Villa urged parents and community members to spend a few minutes completing the survey to influence district priorities. No formal action, motion or vote related to the LCAP was recorded in the transcript excerpts provided.

For questions, Villa directed listeners to the Department of State and Federal Programs (contact information transcribed above). The district's annual LCAP process determines how certain state funds are allocated and includes opportunities for public comment and survey-based input.
