District presents LCAP priorities: literacy institute, expanded field work, and devices allocation
Summary
District staff presented the 2026–27 Local Control and Accountability Plan emphasizing competency-based learning, a renewed focus on K–2 literacy with a summer literacy institute and literacy coaches, continued field-work partnerships, and an allocation for devices and a new data warehouse system (Linked).
District staff presented the 2026–27 LCAP to the Escondido Union School District board and described priorities across three goals: personalized competency-based learning; whole-child outcomes and supports; and enabling conditions such as devices and data systems.
“Since we are in the 3rd year of the LCAP cycle, the goals and actions must remain the same. However, the funding… may change,” a presenter said while reviewing Goal 1 items, including moving some redesign work from vendor contracts to district-led work and supporting cohorts and AVID-focused schools. The presentation also listed action items for physical education, newcomer assistants, and English-learner professional development.
On literacy, staff described a K–2 literacy institute (two-day training) with roughly 100 kindergarten–2nd-grade teachers already signed up and noted the district has secured literacy coach grants for Lincoln Pioneer and Central to place full-time literacy specialists at those sites. The district also announced an adoption of Linked (replacing Performance Matters) as a data warehouse to better identify interventions and progress monitoring. Regarding devices, staff said the LCAP currently includes an allocation for devices and digital platforms (line 3.5) — roughly $2.6 million in the LCAP allocation — and that adjustments could be made based on board direction.
Board members asked clarifying questions about juvenile diversion language in contracts and device funding; district staff explained SRO costs are shared with local school agencies and that device allocations in the LCAP are an initial estimate subject to revision.
