District presents LCAP midyear review; most actions on track amid spending scrutiny
Summary
Apple Valley Unified staff presented the Local Control and Accountability Plan midyear review, reporting that most actions and expenditures are roughly on track through December and that some school sites qualify for equity multiplier funding; trustees asked for school‑level dashboards at the February LCAP meeting.
District staff presented the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) midyear review, summarizing progress on five district goals, action‑level implementation and spending through December.
The presenter said most actions are approximately at the halfway point of expected expenditures and noted specific items: English learner graduation rates were reported at 93.1%, slightly above the general rate; instructional coaching and professional development are funded primarily via categorical and federal sources (Title II, ELOP); and some actions—including summer programs—affect timing of expenditures.
Staff explained that two equity multiplier schools (HDPA and Apple Valley Virtual) receive additional funds that are contingent on enrollment and mobility; sites such as Phoenix Academy were said to be underspending by design to preserve multi‑year sustainability. The presenter said metrics and dashboards will be reviewed school‑by‑school at the February LCAP meeting.
Trustees asked about scheduling for professional development and whether some actions would occur this semester or over the summer; staff said a combination of both and indicated some substitute costs remain to be booked in the proper expenditure categories. No board action was required at the midyear review; staff said they will return in February with more detailed school‑level data.
The presentation was framed as an informational update amid the broader budget conversation and the district’s current process to adjust expenditures in response to projected shortfalls.
