Summary
The Mount Diablo Unified School District board voted 5-0 to adopt county‑revised updates to the district’s Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), correcting metrics and fiscal numbers and adding narrative on duplicated‑student metrics and carryover funds.
The Mount Diablo Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously Aug. 27 to adopt county‑office revisions to the district’s three‑year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
District staff said the packet had been approved in June and that the Aug. 27 vote was a final approval reflecting edits requested by the county education office.
The county’s changes included corrections to typographical errors in metrics, additional narrative and evaluation language related to duplicated students, and updated fiscal numbers — most notably adjustments to the carryover amount from 2023–24 and a revised figure for learning‑recovery block grants. Christina Filios, a district fiscal staffer, told trustees the edits were highlighted in blue in the materials to show the changes from the June version.
Trustees and staff also discussed county findings embedded in the review. Trustee comments highlighted persistent achievement gaps for foster youth and English learners; trustees noted progress for some low‑income cohorts but urged more work to close gaps in CAASPP outcomes, English learner proficiency and Career Technical Education (CTE) pathway completion.
The board’s motion to approve the revised LCAP passed 5‑0 with support from the student trustee. Staff said the LCAP would return in February for a midyear progress report.
Why it matters: The LCAP documents district goals tied to state funding priorities and describes strategies and metrics for student groups the state identifies as priorities. County edits ensure plan compliance and update fiscal accounting.
