Board reviews LCAP midyear report and budget snapshot; graduation and attendance trends highlighted
Summary
District leaders presented the LCAP midyear update covering spending, metrics and actions across five goals, reporting a modest increase in graduation rates and presenting plans for attendance recovery and instructional supports; trustees requested targeted interventions for sixth graders and persistent gaps.
A district leader presented the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) midyear report, a 77-page document showing the district's current goals and expenditures. The report listed approximately $71 million in total LCFF funds and about $18 million in supplemental and concentration funding. The presenter said the district has five LCAP goals and outlined in-progress actions across professional development (CGI math, ELD supports), literacy and math interventions (EMIRA, STAR, I-Ready pilot), restorative-practices staffing, MTSS and attendance-recovery strategies (including a proposed Saturday school pilot), and technology replacement plans.
The presentation highlighted outcome metrics: modest growth in ELPAC and CAST results in some grades, a reduction in the number of students in the bottom percentiles on literacy measures, and a reported 7% increase in high-school graduation rates. Director Bergman provided K'2 diagnostic details, noting intervention teachers serve roughly 450 students per quarter and that about half are emergent bilingual students. The presenters identified K'6 literacy and some sixth-grade mathematics as areas needing targeted intervention; trustees asked for spring- and summer-camp ideas and immediate measures to address the identified "bubble" cohort suspected of pandemic-related learning gaps.
On budget status, presenters said some funds remain to be allocated and that the district is considering reallocations to prioritize attendance recovery and K'6 supports. Trustees asked for follow-up materials and data; staff said more detailed assessment instruments and a Friday update would be provided. The board did not take additional budget action beyond reviewing the midyear update.
