District presents midyear LCAP update showing spending and learning gains; calls for parent input
Summary
District staff presented a midyear Local Control and Accountability Plan update noting planned expenditures by goal, year‑to‑date spending, modest gains in reclassification and graduation metrics for certain groups, and a request that families complete the LCAP survey before it closes.
District staff delivered the midyear Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) update and asked the community to provide input before the LCAP window closes. Sean, the district presenter, reviewed the district’s LCFF allocations and the role of supplemental and concentration (S&C) funds targeted at unduplicated pupils (English learners, low‑income students and foster youth).
The presentation outlined four LCAP goals and the district’s planned versus year‑to‑date expenditures: Goal 1 (conditions of learning), Goal 2 (student outcomes), Goal 3 (engagement) and Goal 4 (equity multiplier). For Goal 1 the presentation listed planned expenditures of about $51.9 million and year‑to‑date spending in the low millions; district staff described major uses (instructional materials, facility maintenance, teacher induction and advanced coursework) and explained that S&C funds support targeted programs such as ethnic studies and dual‑language pathways.
Sean highlighted student outcome trends: reclassification rates rose modestly from the prior year baseline (from about 14.5% to a figure near 16.4%) with a 2525 target of 17.5%; English learners, foster youth and students with disabilities showed varying gains, with foster youth and students with disabilities showing larger percentage improvements year‑to‑date. Staff also reported a substantial decline in chronic absenteeism relative to the baseline and noted work to support foster youth and other high‑needs groups.
Superintendent Roach and Dr. Lin explained how the district is using Learning Recovery Emergency Block Grant (LREBG) funds: to fund TOSA positions, district professional development and contracted services targeted at high‑need students. Roach said the district’s original LREBG allocation was $22,775,151 and the current unspent balance is about $6,864,078 with spending authority through June 30, 2028; staff emphasized that the remaining funds support set priorities such as intervention, MTSS and targeted supports for unduplicated pupils.
Board members asked for clearer and publicly accessible summaries of the LCAP metrics and for evidence that recovery funds are directed to students most in need. Trustee Loera and others pressed staff to present layperson summaries and to show pre/post measures for programs paid with recovery funds. Staff said they will produce more accessible reports and provide additional data to the board.
The district reminded the public that the LCAP survey is open and invited families and community members to contribute input before the close date.
