Board reviews LCAP, Prop 28 arts funding and federal addendum; district highlights equity and targeted interventions
Summary
At a public hearing the board reviewed the district’s LCAP for 2026–27, outlined priorities funded by LCFF and equity multiplier allocations, discussed Prop 28 arts funding and compliance, and reviewed the federal addendum (Title I–IV) linking federal grants to LCAP goals.
The Fallbrook Union High School District opened public hearings and information items on its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2026–27 and related funding programs at the June 10 meeting.
Emily Ton presented the LCAP framework, describing it as the district’s three‑year strategic plan that matches goals and budget actions. Ton said the district is finalizing year two and moving into year three of the plan. She summarized demographics highlighted in the LCAP: approximately 73% of students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, roughly 16% are students with disabilities, and about 21% are English learners. The LCAP’s goals include improving student and family engagement, preparing students for college and careers, ensuring standards mastery, and an additional equity multiplier goal required for schools receiving equity multiplier funds (Ivy and Oasis High Schools).
Ton and other presenters outlined how funds are targeted in the plan: supplemental and concentration funds (approximately $6 million cited in the presentation) must be used for the priority student groups; equity multiplier allocations (roughly $100,000 for Ivy and Oasis in the presenter’s slides) were described as school‑specific enhancements; and the learning recovery block grant (~$2.86M total) was described as targeted to tiered instruction and interventions and must be spent by 2028. Actions in the LCAP include data reflection cycles, math tutorials and ELD supports, peer tutoring and Saturday Academy, AVID, and investments in college and career pathways and social‑emotional supports.
Separately, district staff reviewed the Prop 28 arts and music funding program (1% of LCFF) and reported an allocation of approximately $369,494 for 2025–26 with carryover. Staff described investments in certificated and classified arts staffing, materials and equipment (for example, new ceramics kilns and classroom upgrades), and reported student participation increases in visual and performing arts courses (presented figures: 747 students in prior year to 1,255 in 2025–26). District presenters said Prop 28 funds are being used to expand access and to comply with the requirement that funds supplement, not supplant, existing programs.
Finally, the public federal addendum to the LCAP (Title I–IV) was outlined to show how federal Title funds align to district goals: Title I supports socioeconomically disadvantaged students and AVID; Title II supports systemic professional learning and substitutes for teacher release time; Title III targets English learner services; and Title IV supports well‑rounded education, technology and trauma‑informed practices. Allocations were summarized and tied back to LCAP goals and site plans.
No formal adoption occurred that night for the LCAP (the presentation was the informational public hearing) and staff said the LCAP will be on the board agenda for final approval at its June 23 meeting.
What happens next: district will present the LCAP for final adoption on June 23, 2026, and will return with the updated school calendars and any budget revisions required by the board’s subsequent decisions.
