Colfax Elementary superintendent outlines LCAP goals, AVID rollout and facilities master plan
Summary
Colfax Elementary School District Superintendent Andy Genini described district goals under its Local Control Accountability Plan, plans to roll out AVID and 1-to-1 Chromebooks, and a new facilities master plan and Proposition 2 funding pursuit for school modernization.
Andy Genini, superintendent of Colfax Elementary School District, presented the district’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and described student-support and facilities plans at the May 28 Colfax City Council meeting.
Genini said the district is finishing year one of a three-year LCAP with two primary goals: raise English language arts and math proficiency while closing achievement gaps, and strengthen students’ social and emotional health through relationship-based supports. Actions already in place include an intervention block for targeted small-group instruction, annual professional development for teachers, a new social studies curriculum and expanded learning opportunities after school. The district plans to pilot a new math curriculum in the 2026–27 school year following the state adoption list.
Genini said the district will begin implementing AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) at the middle school level next year, with plans to expand into upper elementary grades in following years to support leadership and organization skills. He also said the district will assign Chromebooks to middle school students for home-school use and purchase online monitoring tools to improve student safety.
On facilities, Genini said Colfax Elementary — built in 1991 — is showing its age and the district has completed three community workshops and produced a facilities master plan. The district plans to apply for state Proposition 2 facilities funding set aside for small districts; Genini cautioned the process takes time and the district expects to be in line for funding, possibly two to three years before actual construction dollars arrive. He also described planned campus improvements including a new grass field on the lower quad (targeted for September) and new indoor and outdoor bells.
Genini thanked local partners including county agencies and law enforcement for school safety coordination and said the school acts as a hub for food and clothing assistance for rural families.
