Board hears LCAP midyear update showing attendance gains, big drops in suspensions
Summary
District staff reported midyear LCAP metrics: attendance rose from a 95.1 baseline to 98.04 percent, chronic absenteeism fell from 16.22% to 6.96%, and suspension rates dropped from 1.6% to 0.19%; district identified differentiated assistance for special education and plans further stakeholder engagement.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. McCreery and Thomas Carroll presented the district’s LCAP midyear review and budget overview, outlining spending and metric progress tied to three LCAP goals. Staff reported approximately $41 million expended midyear of a roughly $91 million total LCAP budget, leaving about $44 million remaining for 2025–26 LCAP actions.
Thomas Carroll highlighted the district’s progress in school climate and discipline metrics: "Our baseline data shows that we were at 95.1. And as of right now this year, we're at 98.04 percent," and he reported chronic absenteeism falling from 16.22% to 6.96% and suspensions down from 1.6% to 0.19%. Presenters noted achievement gaps remain in several subgroups and that the district has been identified for differentiated assistance based on indicators for special education and academic performance. Staff committed to additional stakeholder meetings, further drill‑down of Healthy Kids Survey data, and returning results to a June study session ahead of final LCAP adoption.
