  D. Board findings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e) Vote Kimi Kean 3 m
   

The LCPS Board of Directors determines, in accordance with Government Code Section 54953(e)(1)(B), that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3), the Board has also reconsidered the circumstances of the State of Emergency declared by the Governor on March 4, 2020, and finds the State of Emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the Directors to meet safely in person and/or that State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.

Note:  The LCPS Board of Directors last approved this on 12/1/2020, and will review the findings every 30 days.

No individual presentation on agendized or non-agendized items shall be for no more than three (3) minutes and the total time for this purpose shall not exceed fifteen (15) minutes.  Speakers requesting translations will have six (6) minutes to present.

II. Consent Items 2:16 PM
  A. Approve Minutes: December 15, 2020 Approve Minutes Robbie Torney 2 m
     
III. Discussion and Approval Items 2:18 PM
  A. Approval of LCPS's 2021 Audited Financials Vote Rich Harrison 5 m
   

LCPS's Audit Committee has reviewed the 2021 Audited Financials, and recommends approval.  The board approved Audited Financials will be send to OUSD for compliance purposes.  

 
  B. School Accountability Report Card (SARC) Approval for 2020-21 SY Vote Robbie Torney 5 m
   

LCPS Staff has reviewed these materials and recommends approval of the 2021 SARC reports for:

  • Lighthouse K-8
  • Lighthouse 9-12
  • Lodestar K-12

Note:  LCPS, along with many other district and charter schools, use DTS (a document tracking service for school compliance).  DTS has shared that CDE has not updated key data tables and will not do so by the 1/31 deadline.  Hence, DTS has advised that we approve and post the SARC even though the data may be blank or outdated.  Once the CDE's data issues are resolved, the data will be uploaded and revised SARCs will be posted on-line.  

 

Below is a list of key data point clarifications in the SARC:

  • Section A:  Conditions of Learning:
    • The data in this section is blank because CDE/CBEDS has not updated their data file
  • Section B:  Pupil Outcomes:
    • LCPS took CAASPP in the spring of 2021.  However, the comparative state data is listed as "N/A" because only a percentage of schools statewide took these assessments.
    • Local Assessment Test Results.  Because LCPS took CAASPP in 2021, we are not required to populate these sections.
  • Section D: Other SARC Information
    • Class Sizes:  The data is pulled from a CALPADs submission, and will need to be corrected / updated once the data table issue is resolved.  
    • Student Support Services Staff: CDE/CBEDS has not updated their data file
 
IV. Closing Items 2:28 PM
  A. Adjourn Meeting Vote Kimi Kean 1 m
   

Next Meeting:

  • Regular Board Meeting on 2/2 from 6pm to 8:30pm on Zoom
