LCAP update: Rocklin Unified proposes tutoring, PBIS pilot and $1.4M for English learner supports
Summary
Director Hana Anderson outlined Rocklin Unified's draft LCAP for 2025–26, which keeps math and social-emotional goals and adds targeted tutoring, an elementary PBIS classroom pilot, secondary substance-abuse interventions and about $1.4 million aimed at English-learners; trustees asked for more assessment data.
Director of Innovation and School Programs Hana Anderson presented a draft Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) update to the Rocklin Unified Board that focuses on continuing math improvement, expanding social-emotional supports and targeting services for unduplicated pupils — English learners, students with disabilities, foster youth and students experiencing homelessness.
Anderson told trustees the district will continue three goal areas and highlighted several proposed changes for 2025–26: increased targeted tutoring for identified students, more professional development focused on English learners and students with disabilities, a classroom-based elementary pilot to strengthen PBIS implementation through in-class staff supports, expanded substance-abuse prevention and intervention on secondary campuses, and adjustments to assessment alignment so teachers do not double-test students.
She said the district intends to prioritize unduplicated pupils for tiered interventions and provided draft dollar figures for supplemental investments: roughly $1.4 million for English-learner services, about $1.1 million to provide free transportation for socioeconomically disadvantaged students, $770,000 above base for math improvement, and about $800,000 to sustain an elementary counseling program. Anderson also described an allocation of additional instructional aide hours for elementary sites totaling about $815,000.
On attendance — a stated LCAP companion goal — Anderson explained chronic absenteeism is measured as missing 10% or more of the school year and noted the district's rate has fallen from a pandemic high to about 8.2 percent. "Chronic absenteeism is when students miss 10% or more of the school year," Anderson said during her presentation.
Trustees pressed for the timing of assessment results: state CASP results are not final until August or September, she said, but the district uses MAP interim assessments to get earlier signals; Anderson reported MAP results showed roughly 2% growth from spring 2024 to spring 2025 and said staff will bring a math update to the board on June 18.
Anderson asked for continued stakeholder feedback; the board will hold a public hearing on the final LCAP draft on May 28 and is scheduled to consider approval on June 18.
