Moreno Valley Unified leaders lay out LCAP priorities and $108M in targeted expenditures
Summary
District leaders reviewed the Local Control and Accountability Plan, reviewed goals and data tools, and said Moreno Valley USD will dedicate roughly $108 million in LCAP-specific spending in 2024–25 while using equity multiplier funds to target alternative education sites.
Moreno Valley Unified School District leaders presented a districtwide Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) update and invited board members, staff and community partners to a facilitated study session focused on data-driven recommendations for 2025–26.
"The LCAP describes how Moreno Valley Unified School District plans to improve student outcomes," Dr. Esperanza Arce, the district's chief academic officer, told the board as she opened the session and explained the agenda. A video shared during the session said the district served more than 31,500 students at 43 schools in 2024–25 and will spend about $648,000,000 in general fund expenditures and roughly $108,000,000 in expenditures tied to the LCAP this year.
Why it matters: The LCAP is the district's primary planning document that ties local priorities to state requirements and funding under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Dr. Arce framed the board's role as providing guidance on whether to continue three district priorities — Academic, College & Career, and Engagement (ACE) — and on how to allocate supports tied to the five LCAP goals and an additional set of equity-multiplier goals.
District staff emphasized tools and transparency. Jessica Axe, director of technology innovation and assessment, walked participants through a digital LCAP dashboard that links to source data and safety and climate surveys so teams could review site- and subgroup-level metrics during breakout work. The district distributed full LCAP books and a condensed "LCAP at a glance" handout for table use.
Targeted equity funding: Latoisha Brown, director of categorical programs, outlined the equity multiplier funds, noting the district set aside a three-year allocation exceeding $1,000,000 for alternative education sites and that $850,000 was distributed to those sites this year to support interventions for students who need targeted supports.
Process and next steps: Dr. Arce said staff will compile the teams' recommendations to update the draft LCAP and return for board direction before the district finalizes changes to submit through the county and state review process in June. She also said the district has made programmatic shifts — for example, phasing out virtual tutoring in favor of in-person, during-the-day interventions — based on what staff judged to be effective.
The study session concluded with staff outlining follow-up steps and the timeline for collecting and incorporating stakeholder input before the board takes formal LCAP action.
