Brea Olinda Unified unveils 2024-25 LCAP focusing on student achievement, mental health and safety
Summary
District staff presented a revised three-year Local Control and Accountability Plan built around four goals — student achievement, mental health and wellness, 21st-century learning and safety/infrastructure — and invited public comment ahead of adoption on June 27.
Brea Olinda Unified School District officials presented the district's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2024-25, describing a three-year strategy aimed at improving student outcomes and targeting services for high-needs students.
Phil de Augustino, the district's LCAP lead, told the board the plan was organized around three broad priority areas — engagement, conditions for learning and student outcomes — and consolidated input from parents, students and staff into four district goals. "This is a 3 year plan that describes the goals and actions, services, expenditures to support student outcomes and address our state and local priorities," de Augustino said, pointing trustees to the document's detailed goal and action pages.
The presentation summarized outreach and data sources used to shape the plan. De Augustino said the district used the California Healthy Kids Survey, Panorama tools, a Qualtrics LCAP survey and multiple parent advisory committee meetings; roughly 1,000 combined student and parent respondents and tens of thousands of comments were incorporated. De Augustino also said the district applied artificial-intelligence tools to help identify themes from public comments and that county office feedback was received the same day as the presentation.
Trustees pressed for specifics about spending for unduplicated pupils (UPP). De Augustino said actual UPP expenditures for FY 2023-24 were $3,600,000 and the 2024-25 LCAP currently budgets about $4,300,000, attributing most of the increase to rising costs and additional services — including planned personnel such as an additional social worker and continued special-education supports. "We increased some things, the natural cost of products and services going up," he said.
The LCAP presentation also details consolidated budget-overview pages, goal metrics and the actions the district will pursue to meet state priorities. De Augustino said the board will hear a final adoption item at its June 27 meeting and that the plan must be finalized for county approval by Aug. 15.
Next steps: the board opened and closed the public hearing on the LCAP as required; staff will collect any public feedback from tonight's hearing, incorporate changes as appropriate, and return the plan for board adoption on June 27.
