County official outlines COE role in LCAPs and public‑hearing timeline
Summary
Dr. Sabah told trustees the county board holds final approval authority for the COE's LCAPs (alternative education and career advancement charter), explained the required public‑hearing timeline and emphasized focus on unduplicated pupils and budget alignment.
At the meeting Dr. Sabah provided an overview of the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) process and the county board's responsibilities for the COE LCAPs. He explained that the COE maintains two separate LCAPs — one for alternative education programs and one for the career advancement charter — and that the county board is the final approving authority for the COE's own LCAP and annual update.
Key points included the timeline for drafts, engagement with community partners and a required public hearing (notice at least 10 days before action), and the obligation to verify statutory requirements, goals, actions and expenditure alignment. Dr. Sabah emphasized that trustees should focus on unduplicated pupils (foster youth, English learners and low‑income students), annual metrics and alignment with the state priorities and county priorities for the COE. He also described the public engagement channels the COE uses, including surveys and ParentSquare, and noted that staff will return with numbers and further details when requested by trustees.
Trustees asked about community advisory committees; Dr. Sabah explained there are separate committees for each LCAP population and described strategies for increasing engagement across scattered programs and single‑classroom sites.
