What’s the LCAP?

Every federally funded local educational agency (LEA), must develop a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) to set goals, plan actions and leverage resources to help improve student outcomes. It is a 3-year plan that is updated annually.

Our LCAP is developed in collaboration with District staff and educational partners. We value the voices of our students, staff and educational partners all of whom weigh in on developing our LCAP. There are also opportunities for parents/guardians to join the LCAP Parent Advisory Committee (PAC). Applicants are appointed by the Board of Education and Superintendent. Throughout the year, there will be regular updates on the progress of our LCAP goals.

How does the state use the district’s LCAP for funding? 

The LCAP is an important part of the State of California’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) model that lets districts make more decisions about how they use funding. 

Under LCFF, districts receive:

  • LCFF Base Funding: Money provided for each student served and based on average daily attendance
  • LCFF Supplemental Funding: Money provided based upon the number of Unduplicated Students (English Learners, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, and Low-Income students)
  • LCFF Concentration Funding: Additional money provided to districts whose unduplicated student population is more than 55%

A key part of the LCAP is describing how the district is using targeted funds (LCFF Supplemental and Concentration Grant funding) to meet the needs of English Learners, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, and Low-Income students.

How to get involved

In an effort to make the LCAP input and planning process more accessible, our LCAP Executive Director, Krystal Thomas, and our Board of Education members will be hosting a series of Town Hall events throughout the community. Keep an eye out for communications that will inform you of these opportunities to learn more about LCAP!

Goal 1: Ensure Students Are College & Career Ready
LCAP Goals

100% of SCUSD students will graduate college and career ready with a wide array of postsecondary options and a clear postsecondary plan. Growth in Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness will be accelerated for Students with Disabilities, English Learners, African American students, American Indian or Alaska Native students, Hispanic/Latino students, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, and other student groups with gaps in outcomes until gaps are eliminated.

Goal 3: Support Student Social-Emotional, Mental & Physical Health
LCAP Goals

Provide every student the specific academic, behavioral, social-emotional, and mental and physical health supports to meet their individual needs – especially English Learners, Students with Disabilities, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, African American students, American Indian or Alaska Native students, Hispanic/Latino students, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students, and other student groups whose outcomes indicate the greatest need – so that all students can remain fully engaged in school and access core instruction.

Goal 6: Provide Students With Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
LCAP Goals

Provide all school sites three-years of training, coaching, and ongoing support to implement an effective Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Training will be completed and all district sites should be conducting business and serving students using an MTSS framework by 2024-25. Progress will be measured with the Self-Assessment of MTSS (SAM) Implementation tool in addition to external indicators of site fidelity including: (a) holding MTSS team meetings regularly, (b) engaging in data based practices to assess need and progress monitor and ( c ) providing differentiated, tiered interventions as evidenced by twice-yearly report outs of challenges/successes by each site leader.

Goal 7: Develop a Graduate Profile To Reflect Current Values
LCAP Goals

SCUSD will revisit and revise the District Graduate Profile (Previously adopted in 2014) so that it accurately reflects the current priorities of educational partners and adopt the updated version by the end of 2022-23. School sites will be provided support to align their instructional priorities and goals to the revised Graduate Profile so that all sites demonstrate evidence of alignment in their school plans by 2023-24.

Goal 10: Respectfully Identify Unhoused Students & Connect Them To Services
LCAP Goals

SCUSD will respectfully, efficiently and effectively identify all eligible homeless youth so that they can be connected to and provided the appropriate family, academic social/emotional, behavioral, health, and other services. The percentage of all socioeconomically disadvantaged students who are identified as homeless will increase and approach the expected 5- 10% rate.
