District presents LCAP midyear update showing gains on key state indicators
Summary
Dr. Amy Herrera presented a midyear Local Control and Accountability Plan update, reporting a 42.9% English-learner progress rate (up 3.2 points), a 61% College and Career Indicator and green ratings on graduation and suspension measures; two committee meetings remain before finalizing the 2026–27 LCAP draft.
The Huntington Beach Union High School District presented a midyear Local Control and Accountability Plan update Wednesday, with staff saying the review shows progress on several state accountability measures and outlines actions for the 2026–27 draft.
Dr. Amy Herrera, who delivered the presentation, said the district’s LCAP contains four goals and 32 categories of action that guide investments in hiring, curriculum, counseling and student supports. “Our district earned a green performance level,” Herrera said as she summarized the dashboard results.
The presentation highlighted implementation work across human resources and instructional support: reduced classified vacancies, districtwide phone system and laptop upgrades, expanded professional development and a new districtwide data-and-assessment system. Herrera described increased counseling support, an attendance recovery program and efforts to better identify and support foster students.
On state accountability metrics drawn from the 2025 California Dashboard, Herrera reported that 42.9% of English learners either progressed or maintained the highest proficiency level, a 3.2 percentage-point improvement from the prior year. The College and Career Indicator — a composite that counts a range of pathways to postsecondary readiness — was reported at 61% for the district versus 51.7% statewide. The district also showed green performance on combined graduation-rate measures and a 2.1% suspension rate compared with a 2.9% statewide figure, according to the presentation.
Herrera said the midyear review informs the full LCAP development cycle and helps align major-expenditure reporting with the district’s interim financial reports. She told trustees there are two remaining committee meetings before staff complete the 2026–27 draft and bring it back to the board for future consideration.
The board did not take action on the LCAP at the meeting; Herrera said the update is part of the ongoing development and reporting process required under state law.
