Quick Summary / Abstract: Staff will present the 2021-24 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP), and the Annual Update for Developing the 2021-22 LCAP for approval.
Background: As part of the State budget and Assembly Bill 97, the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) was established for public schools throughout California. LCFF is based on a weighted student formula which provides supplemental funding and concentration grants for each pupil classified in at least one of the following categories: English learner, foster youth, or low-income. Implementation of the LCFF is intended to increase transparency and reduce complexity; reduce administrative burdens; improve funding equity across districts; and improve local accountability. To this end, each district develops and implements a LCAP which describes how districts intend to meet annual goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address State and local priorities identified in Education Code Section 52060(d). The eight priority areas identified by the State include:

1. Basic Conditions/Services
2. School Climate
3. Student Achievement
4. Student Engagement
5. Other Student Outcomes
6. Parental Involvement
7. Course Access
8. Implementation of the California State Standards
Status The LCAP/LCP was presented at a Public Hearing on June 15th and was approved by the Board during the June 29th Board of Education Meeting. The LCAP/LCP was publicly posted, but not agendized properly. As a result, the LCAP/LCP was again presented for Public Hearing at the August 17th Board meeting, and it is being resubmitted for Board approval.

The LCAP/LCP was developed in consultation with teachers, principals, administrators, school personnel, and with the advice of two District-level parent advisory committees. One Board-established advisory committee is composed of the majority parents/guardians ensuring the inclusion of representatives of three specific populations identified in the legislation: English learner, foster youth, and low income students. The other parent advisory committee is composed of parents/guardians of students who are English learners. Both of our advisory committees have been actively involved in the process to review and update the LCAP based upon disaggregated student achievement data results and feedback received from the Listening Campaign. The Draft LCAP was posted on our website on June 3, 2021. Questions and comments were solicited, and the responses from our Superintendent posted on our website in June. The Draft LCAP/LCP was presented during a Board of Education Public Hearing on June 15th, and again on August 17th.

The LCAP is a three-year plan that is updated annually. It includes actions and expenditures to meet our three District LCAP goals for all students and specifically for English learners, students eligible for free or reduced price meals, and foster youth. Our three LCAP goals are:
1. Increase the percentage of students who have the skills and knowledge to graduate from high school, college and/or career ready;
2. Provide an engaging, clean, healthy, and physically and emotionally safe environment to support learning at the highest levels; and
3. Enhance parent and community engagement and communication.

The Annual Update for Developing the 2021-22 LCAP/LCP includes the following areas:
1. Virtual Learning with Synchronous & Asynchronous Instruction;
2. In-Person, small group hubs/cohorts;
3. Return in to In-person Instruction 3/22/2021;
4. Technology Tools;
5. Schoology, WebEx, Google Meet, Zoom, etc.;
6. Assessment of Learning Loss; and
7. Targeted Student Assessments and Interventions (Summer School, Interventions, Extended Learning Opportunities Grant)

The Federal Addendum includes the following areas:
1. Educator Equity
2. Parent and Family Engagement
3. Homeless Children and Youth Services
4. Professional Growth and Improvement
5. Enhanced Instructional Opportunities for Immigrant Children and Youth

Once the LCAP/LCP is approved by the LVJUSD Board of Education the next steps include:

1. The LCAP/LCP is forwarded to the Alameda County Office of Education within five days of LVJUSD Board of Education approval;
2. The County reviews the Plan to determine if it meets requirements, adheres to the State Board of Education Template, and aligns with the District budget;
3. The County may seek clarification about contents of the Plan from the District and the District has 15 days to respond; and
4. If the Plan meets the requirements, the State Board of Education approves the Plan by October 2021.
Fiscal Impact The 2021-2024 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) indicates actions and services with an associated anticipated budget for each action item. Budget items included in the LCAP are part of the LCFF.
