Perris Union High trustees hear midyear LCAP update as attendance edges up and intervention spending grows
Summary
District staff reported midyear progress on the Local Control Accountability Plan, highlighting attendance gains, expanded interventions and a plan to align facility and deferred maintenance work with future bond discussions.
Lindsey Chavez, who presented the Perris Union High School District’s Local Control Accountability Plan midyear update on Feb. 11, told the board the presentation was intended to show progress, highlight challenges and identify shifts to better target resources.
Chavez reviewed five LCAP goals — grade‑level proficiency in English language arts and math; postsecondary and career readiness; student well‑being and safety; family and community partnerships; and equity for alternative education sites. She said the district’s attendance rate has increased from about 88.5% to approximately 90.65% and described shifts in enrollment and fiscal projections that required updates to the budget overview for parents.
On academic supports, Chavez said the district has increased spending on math and reading interventions, added professional development for teachers, and expanded summer learning opportunities. To increase access and credit opportunities, the district added a built‑in 25 minutes to its day (moving from six to seven periods) to create more instructional options and credit recovery opportunities for students.
Chavez described the district’s CTE programming, noting that most CTE teachers are provided through a contract with the Riverside County Office of Education while some are district employees. She also highlighted investments in mental health and wellness teams, campus supervisor training, and athletic stipends intended to bolster supervision and engagement.
On alternative education sites — Paris Lake High School and Inland Online Academy — Chavez said the district has expanded academic interventions and social‑work services and is coordinating with the county office of education to complete needs assessments and action planning.
Board members asked clarification questions about ELD supports and how the district will staff added sections next year; Chavez said supplemental and concentration grants along with federal Title I and Title III funds can be braided with LCAP resources to support additional bilingual aides and ELD sections.
Chavez closed by saying the district will continue monitoring metrics, update the facility master plan and use deferred maintenance planning to guide spending decisions related to potential bond proposals.
