The CA School Dashboard Preview The 2023 Dashboard will be publicly released on Friday, December 15, 2023. We have been in “private preview” since November 14, 2023. As part of the embargo, we may only present the data for the three LEAs until the public release. Local Indicators: All schools are showing “standard met” for the following indicators 

● Basics: Teachers, Instructional Materials & Facilities (LCFF Priority 1)

● Implementation of Academic Standards (LCFF Priority 2) 

● Parent and Family Engagement (LCFF Priorities 3 & 5) 

● Local Climate Survey (LCFF Priority 6) 

● Access to a Broad Course of Study (LCFF Priority 7)

Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP) Updates The State Board of Education approved a new template in November to be used for the LCAP beginning this spring.There have been several changes to avoid redundancies contained in the previous template. Substantive changes have been made in the guidance for LEAs in the development of the new plan for 2024:

● Plan is to be developed as a three-year strategic plan 

● Goals and actions are to remain unchanged for the duration (2024-2027) 

● Student group(s) identified on the 2023 Dashboard are to be addressed in the 24-25 plan, and will remain unchanged for the duration of the plan 

We also expect the CDE to release the list of LEAs identified for Differentiated Assistance (DA) when the Dashboard goes public next week. This will also be a crucial factor in development of the schools’ coming LCAPs

YPICS has been focused on working with the audit firm to complete the audit on time.  Please be aware that some additional testing for leases (new legislation is extending the audit process this year.

All schools are working on implementing their academic action plans and completing SARC reports to be ready for posting by the legislative deadline 2/1/2024.
