Board approves 2024'27 LCAP, restores elementary advisor posts and reading specialist
Summary
The board approved the district's 2024'27 Local Control and Accountability Plan and its 2026'27 update; staff said they restored elementary student advisor positions and one FTE reading specialist at McKinley and McDowell schools using state and Title I funds.
The school board approved the district's 2024'27 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), including the 2026'27 annual update, after a staff presentation and a brief legally required reading of the plan's elements.
A presenter asked the board to approve the plan, saying that the LCAP "outlines the district's goals, actions, and investments to support student success and is adopted each year alongside the district's budget." The presenter said staff had used state learning recovery funds to restore elementary student advisor positions and Title I funds to restore one full-time-equivalent reading specialist to support McKinley and McDowell schools. The presenter also read required legal language about the plan and noted that, because district leadership changed earlier in the spring, cabinet completed its annual review to ensure local indicators and ratings accurately reflected current implementation and improvement priorities.
A board member moved to approve the LCAP; another member seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote when members responded "Aye." The presenter said staff will return within the state's required 45-day revision period if any revisions are necessary to align the LCAP with the adopted budget.
What happens next: the district will implement the actions in the adopted LCAP and make any statutorily required revisions after final budget and policy clarifications are available.
