Glendora Unified reviews LCAP goals and metrics; trustees press for stronger college-readiness supports
Summary
District staff presented the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) outlining four goals—student achievement, attendance, family engagement and safety—and metrics for a three-year cycle; trustees raised questions about college- and career-readiness tracking and counselor support for students.
Glendora Unified School District educational staff on Monday outlined the district—s Local Control Accountability Plan for 2025—27, emphasizing goals tied to academic achievement, attendance and engagement, family partnerships and physical and digital safety.
At the heart of the presentation, Dr. Naro and Dr. Prince said, are state and local metrics that guide actions and accountability: the district will continue to rely on CAASPP results, AP completions, pathway completions and reclassification rates for English learners. "We reclassified 102 students this year, which is the most we—ve ever reclassified," Dr. Naro told the board, citing that figure as evidence of progress on English-learner supports.
The presenters noted that the most recent state test results are not public yet and that local indicators must be presented to the board at the time of LCAP adoption. Staff described the LCAP as a three-year strategic plan informed by data and community input and said educational partners and surveys shaped specific actions and metrics.
Trustee Garcia pressed staff on the college and career indicator (CCI), which the LCAP shows at roughly half of students meeting the indicator currently. "That—s not something that we should be expecting our parents to do," Trustee Garcia said, arguing for earlier and more systematic counselor outreach, broader student access to programs such as Tartan University and more embedded curriculum time for college-application supports.
Staff told the board several steps are underway to address these gaps: improving counselor tracking of student progress through course sequences, a new transcript-porting partnership that will help counselors and students monitor readiness, expanded CTE pathway supports (including aviation introductory courses) and professional development for counselors tied to the new portal.
Why it matters: The LCAP sets spending priorities that flow from state-required priorities and that will be reflected in the district—s budget; trustee scrutiny of counselor practices and CCI targets could affect how resources and staff time are directed next year.
Next steps: Trustees opened a public hearing on the LCAP and will consider adoption at a scheduled June 26 meeting when local indicators will be presented and the board may vote to adopt the plan.
