Board hears LCAP midyear report as students and community urge protection of wellness centers and restorative practices
Summary
District staff presented the LCAP midyear update covering academic goals, educator development and culture/climate funding; students and community members pressed the board to preserve wellness centers and restorative justice roles and asked for clearer targets and cohort data on outcomes.
The board received a midyear update on the district Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), reviewing goals, actions and first‑interim expenditures tied to academic achievement, educator development and culture and climate.
Dr. Alonzo and district staff outlined metrics and linked data slides: local formative assessments, progress on SBAC/SBAC‑like practice, EL performance gains, and a plan to develop a community‑facing scorecard of leading indicators. "Goal 1 is huge," Dr. Alonzo said, summarizing academic actions and local assessment work; staff also highlighted professional learning communities, English‑learner supports, and investments in college and career pathways.
Trustees and public speakers pressed for clearer targets, cohort tracking and an explicit connection to restorative discipline and wellness services. A trustee asked for cohort and target data to judge whether interventions are producing year‑over‑year gains. Several trustees and the student board member emphasized urgent needs around chronic absenteeism and access to wellness centers.
District staff said the LCAP survey window was open through March 6 (subject to extension if the community requests more time), and promised community engagement meetings, including an East Side meeting tied to LCAP outreach. Staff also described plans for a local scorecard and to present further data on attendance, discipline, wellness visits and graduation outcomes.
Board members asked the administration to develop clearer benchmarks and to coordinate restorative practices and wellness center pathways for students with chronic absence or behavioral health needs. No action was taken; the LCAP midyear report was presented as an information item with follow‑up items scheduled.
