• What is the LCAP?

    The LCAP is a three-year plan that describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student outcomes that address state and local priorities. The LCAP provides an opportunity for local educational agencies (LEAs) to share their stories of how, what, and why programs and services are selected to meet their local needs. The state provides LCAP supplemental funding to school districts based on three factors, the amount of students that can be categorized as the following: English Learners, Low-Income, and Homeless & Foster Youth. The district goes through a planning process each year where the funds received are spent in specific ways according to a detailed plan, called the LCAP.

    3. Access to a broad course of study and programs for high-needs and exceptional students: One measure will be levels of enrollment in all required courses for admittance to a 4-year state university.

    Pupil outcomes:

Student achievement as measured by performance on standardized tests, the Academic Performance Index, the proportion of students who are "college and career ready," the percentage of English learners who are reclassified as fluent in English, the share of high school students who pass Advanced Placement course exams with a score of at least a 3 out of 5, and other measures.
    2. Other student outcomes as measured by performance in other required areas of study such as physical education and the arts. Other forms of assessments, such as SAT or ACT college entrance examination scores of high school students, could also be included.

    Engagement:
