2023 Youth Truth Survey Results for LCAP 
Annually, YPICS administers a national normed survey created to assess multiple dimensions of the program offered to gauge areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. For LCAP purposes, public schools in California must report measurements of the following by partner group: Students—connectedness, belonging, safety, caring relationships; parents—connectedness, welcoming, input in decision-making, resources to support child, safety; and Staff—connectedness, communication, professional development/support, safety.

LCAP Development for 2024-25 Accountability Plan
Over the next two months, each school will engage with its educational partners to gather input on the 24-25 LCAP. This engagement will be detailed in the schools’ “Educational Partner Engagement” section of the coming LCAP. Since all schools are in Comprehensive School Improvement (CSI) for federal assistance, the engagement process for CSI planning will also be part of the LCAP development.

State: 
LAO to Legislature: Deteriorating Budget Condition Ahead From School Services of California Posted February 21, 2024 

The Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) issued two separate reports on February 15, 2024, analyzing Proposition 98 and Governor Gavin Newsom’s education budget proposal within the context of a deteriorating budget condition. The analyses acknowledge that when the Governor issued his 2024-25 Governor’s Budget on January 10, 2024, he was: 

• Solving an estimated $58 billion State Budget deficit (for comparison, during the height of the COVID-19 recession, the 2020-21 Enacted Budget addressed a $54 billion deficit) 
• Addressing unanticipated reductions in available revenues to K-12 school and community college agencies in the prior and current year with $13.7 billion in spending solutions―$8 billion of which is attributable to a funding maneuver the LAO strongly recommends the Legislature reject 
• Proposing an additional $1.4 billion in new K-12 one-time and ongoing spending, with the largest share attributable to funding a 0.76% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) ($628 million)
   

The LAO evaluates the Governor’s January fiscal policy and spending proposals, highlighting that, under its most recent revenue estimates, the State Budget and Proposition 98 deficits are likely to grow by May. Specifically, they estimate that the Proposition 98 minimum guarantee could drop by another $7.7 billion from the Governor’s Budget estimates in 2023-24 and 2024-25.

YPICS:
