Summary

District staff told the board the LCAP midyear update shows the district is on track for year‑two goals but cautioned that some student groups still show higher chronic absenteeism; MTSS hires should help targeted outreach.

District staff delivered the 2025–26 midyear LCAP update, describing four goals — culture of wellness; inclusive community; high student achievement; and physical and emotional safety — and the plan to align the LCAP with the district’s new strategic plan.

The presenter (Rhonda, speaker 15) told trustees this is the midyear checkpoint and that the posted report includes current metrics and expenditures that will be updated in June. She noted a limit of the midyear review: the dashboard data reflects last year’s reporting cycle, so the district will validate whether those figures match the present school year. Trustees asked about chronic absenteeism trends for socioeconomically disadvantaged students.

Rhonda said the district will use the recently approved MTSS coach and specialist positions to run attendance huddles, drill into student‑level data and intervene earlier for students flagged as at risk. She described the district’s use of EduCLIMBER for data review and explained staff plan to run follow‑up admin meetings to identify correlations among attendance, behavior, and achievement. Trustees thanked staff and did not request action beyond continued data disaggregation and the June update.

The board asked staff to prepare more disaggregated attendance reporting and to surface which student groups still require focused interventions.
