Bear Valley Unified presents midyear LCAP review; district cites increased spending on curriculum licenses and student supports
Summary
District staff presented a midyear Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) update noting the district is roughly halfway through the year, has increased spending on curriculum licenses and bilingual aids, and pivoted funding at one campus toward a student support specialist.
District staff presented a midyear update on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), explaining where expenditures and metrics stand through the 2025-26 school year and highlighting several adjustments.
Speaker 1 said the district is about halfway through the year and has spent roughly half of LCAP allocations overall, noting increased spending on curriculum licenses and subscriptions driven by higher vendor prices. The presentation detailed LCAP goal areas: academic readiness (A–G completion, state testing, graduation and AP exam rates), campus climate and safety (safety assistants, counselors and SEL curriculum), family and student engagement (technology, extracurriculars, enrichment programs), English learner supports (bilingual aides and EL software), and a campus-specific equity allocation for Chautauqua.
Staff explained that Chautauqua—unding pivoted from math and ELA instructional coaches to a student support specialist (Chris Leong) to provide direct services; the transcript notes that the instructional-coach line items show as $0 because funds were reallocated. Trustees asked about dual enrollment tracking; Speaker 1 said the district must pull three years of comparable community college data to set a baseline and that current SIS tools must be improved to automate collection of community-college transcripts.
The board received the midyear update for information only; no action was requested or taken. Speaker 1 said the information will inform the 2026-27 LCAP cycle and that district staff will continue stakeholder engagement (students, parents, staff and ELD families) before the next full LCAP development.
