Career Advancement Charter highlights adult‑learner gains and program growth in LCAP presentation
Summary
Denise Guerra Sanson presented the Career Advancement Charter School's LCAP: program expansion, stronger credit accrual (from 16% to 51%), new bilingual hires, childcare supports and a proposed near‑$1.2M budget were discussed; a renewal petition decision was handled later in the meeting.
At the June 12 meeting, Career Advancement Charter (CAC) leadership presented its 2025–26 LCAP, reporting growth in students served across multiple sites and measurable improvements in student outcomes. Denise Guerra Sanson, executive director for the CAC program, said CAC implemented two new CAC teachers (one bilingual), added a senior instructional aide position, and recorded sizable increases in credit accrual—rising from a baseline of 16% to 51% of students earning 45 credits or more in a year.
Guerra Sanson outlined supports that include on‑site childcare in Watsonville, mental‑health counseling, transition support services and expanded CTE offerings (including a correctional‑facility pilot now backed by a $16,000 sheriff's sponsorship). She also shared budget snapshots: total expenditures over $2M in the program area, with LCAP‑budgeted amounts near $1.2M; staff noted some actuals slightly under budgeted totals for this year.
