Superintendent presents midyear LCAP update, highlights gaps in advanced math access
Summary
Superintendent Dr. ValentEDn delivered a midyear update on the district's Local Control Accountability Plan, noting pilot curriculum work, five district priorities and an equity analysis that found course-access gaps in more than 100 classes per secondary school.
Dr. ValentEDn gave a midyear update on the district's LCAP and priorities, telling the board that the district is focusing on literacy, mathematics, belonging, professional development and communications for the next two and a half years. "La 1º es enfocarnos en el alfabetización y matemáticas para que todos nuestros estudiantes... puedan mejorar," he said, framing the priorities as the district's central targets.
In the presentation the superintendent highlighted a preliminary equity analysis that found access gaps across secondary courses. He said the district found "brechas en más de 100 clases en cada escuela," and outlined steps including revising criteria for advanced courses, piloting new primary-level curricula that feed into secondary success, and forming parent-student-staff committees to review spending and access. Board members requested more detail on special-education costs and asked staff to return with expense breakdowns and timelines for the proposed pilots.
