Sunol Glen Unified holds first reading of LCAP with focus on achievement and student supports

The Sunol Glen Unified School District board opened a public hearing and held a first reading of the district's 2026'27 Local Control and Accountability Plan, a three-year plan that sets goals, actions and spending to support student outcomes. The Superintendent told trustees the LCAP is "a 3 year plan... [that] describes the district's goals, actions, and services and expenditures to support positive student outcomes." (Superintendent, SEG 449-456)

Board members pressed staff on the plan's targets and metrics, noting the LCAP's high targets for academic outcomes. Trustees questioned the realism of a 95% proficiency target for core measures; staff responded that 95% was not feasible and that a realistic near-term target would be in the mid-80s. The Superintendent said the document primarily updates the prior cycle and that formal adoption is planned for the June 23 meeting, leaving time for public and staff input before the board's vote (SEG 481-486; SEG 611-621).

The presentation highlighted performance data from the prior year: roughly 80 percent of students met or exceeded ELA standards on CAST and nearly 79.3 percent met or exceeded math standards, with chronic absenteeism decreasing and a suspension rate reported at 0.42 percent (SEG 507-523). The plan emphasizes continued supports for unduplicated pupils (foster youth, English learners and low-income students) and includes actions such as in-class universal screening, targeted one-on-one interventions and expanded English-language development services.

Trustees asked staff to follow up on the student safety survey, which showed 90.8 percent of students reporting they feel safe "always or most of the time," and to include clearer baselines and targets for school-climate metrics in the next draft. The board will review public input and return to the item for adoption at the June 23 meeting.
