Board adopts revised LCAP after minor state feedback
Summary
The San Francisco Unified School District board approved revised Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs) for the county office and the district covering fiscal years 2014–15 through 2016–17 after incorporating four pieces of state feedback, including separating county and district plans and adding teacher credentialing and foster/expelled youth coordination.
The San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education on Aug. 26 approved revisions to the district's Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs) after receiving minor feedback from the California Department of Education.
Deputy Superintendent Myung Lee told the board the requested action "is that the Board of Education approves the revised local control and accountability plan or LCAP for the San Francisco County Office of Education and the San Francisco Unified School District covering fiscal year 14-15 through 16-17 subject to annual updates." The changes, Lee said, were largely technical and were incorporated quickly over the summer.
Why it matters: The LCAP is the district's statement of priorities and actions tied to LCFF funding; updating it to reflect state comments keeps the district compliant and clarifies responsibilities for county-level programs.
What changed: Lee summarized four specific edits the state requested and staff implemented: separating a county office LCAP from the district LCAP; removing references to kindergarten from the county LCAP (the county programs do not serve kindergarteners); adding teacher credentialing to both plans to address state priority elements; and including explicit references in the county LCAP to coordinating services for foster and expelled youth.
Board discussion focused on stakeholder recognition and county representation. Commissioner Marasse asked that labor partners UESF and SEIU be listed more clearly among organizations consulted; Lee and staff explained that, while the unions participated in related forums, some engagement had been part of parallel efforts rather than the district's formal engagement list. Commissioner comments also sought assurance that parents and guardians for county programs were included in the stakeholder process.
The board took a roll-call vote and the motion passed with six ayes.
Next steps: Staff said the revised LCAPs are posted on the district website in English, Spanish and Chinese and will be updated annually; commissioners asked staff to follow up on stakeholder listing and student/guardian representation for county programs.
