Trustees press for measurable outcomes as LCAP update affirms priorities; Youth Cinema Project funding remains parcel‑tax supported
Summary
The board received an LCAP update that reaffirmed three district goals and added two actions for middle‑school math supports. Trustees pressed staff on how one‑time or parcel‑tax funded programs such as the Youth Cinema Project can be measured and whether they should be folded into the LCAP.
Assistant Superintendent Pamela Scott presented the district’s 2024–27 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), restating three guiding goals—conditions of learning, student achievement, and school climate and family engagement—and outlining stakeholder engagement used to set priorities.
Scott said the plan adds two new actions focused on middle‑school mathematics: Action 1.11 (targeted coaching and collaborative planning) and Action 2.8 (curriculum implementation support for grades 6–8). She said the LCAP contains measurable actions and metrics and that the district will submit the adopted plan to the county office by June 30.
Trustees asked whether programs currently funded by parcel tax or one‑time allocations—cited specifically was the Youth Cinema Project—could be moved into the LCAP to ensure continued funding. Scott replied that LCAP actions must be measurable and tied to LCAP goals; some one‑time funds used for professional development or coaching can be included, but enrichment funded by parcel tax (such as the Youth Cinema Project) is not automatically part of the LCAP unless the district defines appropriate measures and aligns the program to a goal.
Trustees suggested the board require impact reports or measurable outcomes for programs to consider them for LCAP inclusion during the next three‑year plan cycle.
