District presents draft 2024–2027 LCAP; public hearing set for June
Summary
Apple Valley Unified officials presented a draft Local Control and Accountability Plan outlining three primary goals, new reporting requirements for subgroup chronic absenteeism, and equity-multiplier school targets. The board will hold a public hearing June 6 and consider adoption June 13.
Patrick Scher presented the Apple Valley Unified School District’s draft 2024–2027 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), saying the document aligns district priorities with board goals and will go to a public hearing on June 6 before a final vote on June 13.
The presentation outlined three core goals: safe and nurturing learning environments, student achievement, and family engagement. Scher said the district reorganized prior goals so that equity-related actions and services remain visible and measurable; certain schools with high student mobility and concentrations of low-income students will be treated as "equity multiplier" sites with targeted funding and programs.
Scher described required new reporting: chronic absenteeism must now be shown by student subgroup at every school where a subgroup is in the state’s lowest indicator band. He said the district’s unduplicated pupil percentage is about 75 percent, which drives how supplemental and concentration grant funds are justified and spent. The plan will include an "increased or improved services" section and a two-page budget overview for parents.
Board members pressed for clarity on how Goals 4 and 5 (equity-multiplier and school-site focus goals) will appear in the final template; Scher said language and school-specific actions will be added before the June hearing. He also described engagement steps used to build the draft: student advisory meetings, a YouthTruth survey that gathered nearly 8,000 student responses (grades 4–12 only), staff and parent surveys, district advisory committees and school-site council reviews.
Next steps: the district will publish the updated template, present it at a public hearing June 6, and return to the board June 13 for approval and subsequent submission to the County Office of Education.
