Board adopts LCAP 2024–27 after debate over low survey responses
Summary
Board adopted the 2024–27 Local Control Accountability Plan but members pressed staff on low parent survey response rates (about 40–50 respondents against roughly 800 students); staff described steps to shorten surveys, rebrand, and distribute during conferences to boost participation.
The board moved to adopt the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) covering 2024–2027 and approved the supporting documentation required for submission. Several committee members expressed concern that survey data used in the plan came from a small sample: one presenter cited 40 parent respondents last year and 50 this year, which board members said was insufficient for district‑wide conclusions.
A staff member said they shortened the survey, used WestEd/Healthy Kids channels and ParentSquare postings, and proposed distributing brief five‑question surveys across multiple months and offering in‑person opportunities during parent‑teacher conferences. “Last year, we had a total of 40 respondents. This year, we had 50, but not all of them were parents,” the staff member said, adding that younger grades require active permission slips that limit student participation in some instrument components. The board adopted the LCAP after discussion and asked staff to note the low response rates in the plan documentation.
