MCOE presents midyear LCAP update; chronic absenteeism remains high but shows improvement
Summary
Staff presented the LCAP midyear update and California Dashboard results, reporting a county chronic-absence rate of 58.3% (a 12.3% decrease from the prior year) and published midyear spending for LCAP goals: $151,374 (Goal 1), $93,405 (Goal 2), $157,403 (Goal 3).
Speaker 3 briefed the board on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) midyear update and how the California Dashboard rates performance. She emphasized the dashboard's two-layer approach (current status plus year-to-year change) and cautioned that Mendocino County Office of Education schools frequently do not receive colorized ratings because small subgroup sizes can make individual students identifiable.
Key data included a county chronic-absence rate recorded as 58.3% on the dashboard, but Speaker 3 noted this represented a 12.3% improvement from the previous year. Suspension rates showed a decrease from the prior year; Speaker 3 reported that last year the county's suspension figure had been higher and "we have 1 group in red which is long term English learners." The presentation listed expenditures to date tied to the LCAP goals: Goal 1, student outcomes, $151,374; Goal 2, learning environment supports, $93,405; Goal 3, equity multiplier and mental-health supports, $157,403.
Board members asked whether the MCOE tracks students who return to districts and how the county follows up to measure successful transitions. Staff said tracking has been informal but that student-accountability specialists and counselors are being used to improve follow-up for students returning to districts.
