Alternative education LCAP midyear report: most metrics on track, some data pending
Summary
Johnny Rice presented the Alternative Education midyear LCAP update, showing that most goals are on track (graduation and student supports), some assessment and English-learner reclassification data remain unknown midyear, and LCFF projections were revised upward in the state budget to about $38 million.
Johnny Rice, executive director of the county's alternative education program, presented the midyear Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) update and summarized five goals focused on academic identity, social-emotional supports, and future readiness.
Rice said most midyear metrics are progressing and highlighted rising graduation rates, reductions in chronic absenteeism among special-education students, and greater student-reported feelings of safety. He noted two metrics still "unknown" midyear — local assessment data and English-learner reclassifications — because the data are still being collected, but both are expected to be achieved by June.
On finances, Rice reviewed LCFF budget revisions: the June adopted LCFF projection of about $36,980,000 was revised in the state budget to $38,000,452; supplemental and concentration funding projections also increased. He explained some midyear under-expenditures (for curriculum and ELD teacher hiring) were due to purchases and hiring timelines in the prior year and said those expenditures are expected to pick up in the second half of the year.
Trustees had few follow-up questions and complimented the report; Rice said the midyear checkpoint helps the COE plan and re-evaluate actions and expenditures ahead of the next annual update.
