Pomona Unified urges families to complete LCAP survey starting Jan. 21
Summary
Pomona Unified School District announced a community survey on its Local Control and Accountability Plan, asking families in Pomona and Diamond Bar to prioritize eight state-required areas; the district will offer a prize to the secondary school with the highest response rate.
Alejandro Villas, director of state and federal programs at Pomona Unified School District, asked families in Pomona and Diamond Bar to take a district survey beginning Jan. 21 to inform the district’s Local Control and Accountability Plan.
"Did you know that LCAP stands for local control and accountability plan?" Villas said. He described the survey as a chance for "your valuable feedback" to shape how the district addresses student needs.
The district said the state’s Local Control Funding Formula requires attention to eight priorities: basic services, implementation of state standards, parent involvement, student achievement, student engagement, school climate, course access and other student outcomes. Villas said the district revisits the LCAP each year "to ensure that it supports the needs of our students based on data." He added, "Every voice matters and your feedback builds better schools."
Pomona Unified encouraged families to complete the survey online and noted an incentive: the secondary school with the highest percentage of student responses will receive a special prize. The announcement listed a start date of Jan. 21 and provided a district contact phone number for questions: 909-397-4800, extension 23628. The district directed parents and community members to the district’s LCAP page at www.pusd.org/forward/lcap for the survey and more information.
The announcement frames the survey as a routine, required step in the LCAP process tied to the state funding formula and the district’s annual review cycle. No formal board action or vote was described in the announcement.
