District outlines LCAP priorities, new learning recovery funds and federal addendum for 2025-26
Summary
District staff presented the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2025-26, incorporating Learning Recovery Emergency Block Grant (LREBG) requirements, program goals, and a federal addendum summarizing Title I-IV allocations and uses.
A district staff member presented the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for the 2025-26 year, noting the plan now incorporates learning recovery emergency block grant (LREBG) requirements and a federal addendum summarizing Title I-IV allocations.
Why it matters: The LCAP sets priorities and spending tied to student outcomes, including additional requirements for LREBG funds that must be linked to a needs assessment. The federal addendum outlines how Title I, II, III and IV funds will be used for the coming year.
Key points from the presentation: The district said it is using the LCAP as a three-year planning tool with four goals: 1) student and family engagement, 2) college and career readiness, 3) student competency on California state standards, and 4) targeted goals for Ivy High School (alternative site) because of federal and state accountability metrics. The presenter said the district is a high socioeconomically disadvantaged population and highlighted services for English learners, students with disabilities and homeless/foster youth (the "unduplicated" population under LCFF).
Funding overview included LCFF base and targeted supplemental and concentration funds. The presenter reported roughly $6.4 million in supplemental/concentration funds (about 16% of revenue) and additional LCFF funds of about $24 million (62%), together representing about 78% of total revenue. LREBG funds must be tied to a needs assessment focused on outcomes such as English language arts, math, and chronic absenteeism.
Staff described LCAP actions for 2025-26 that reflect educational partner feedback: parental supports and the parent center, additional academic counselors, AVID continuation, supports for athletics and extracurriculars, facilities improvements, and targeted supports at Ivy High School including potential portable space for CTE. The federal addendum summary noted Title I schoolwide programming (about 85% allocated to Fallbrook High based on per-pupil calculations; Ivy receives about 5%), Title II funds used for sustained professional learning, Title III funds allocated for English learner supports and immigrant student literacy services, and Title IV funds targeted to mental health, technology and breadth programming such as IB.
District staff also reported summer school enrollment and calendar items tied to recovery and credit-recovery programming: summer school began with about 380 students; one session concludes June 26 and an additional session will run June 30through July 17.
No formal board action was recorded during the LCAP presentation; staff asked the board to review the plan and federal addendum prior to required hearings and adoption steps.
