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.

LCPS Board of Directors approved this on 2/23/2022 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.  

The Board will hear public comments, and Identify next steps as needed.

On March 16th, Jenna Stauffer, Founder of Lighthouse Community Public Schools, was recognized by the California Charter School Association for her leadership and transformative impact.

Presentation Highlights:

• LCPS is serving more Special Education students than in previous years - 12.8% eligible this year vs. 9.6% last year.
• Due to  the increase in students with moderate to severe disabilities, we are adding 2 programs (a Hybrid Inclusion Model and Behavior Health Program), 1 at each site, that will allow for specialization and staffing efficiencies.
• These programs will require the below resolution to support student referral  and special education needs.  

Recommendation:  The CEO recommends approval of the Resolution for Servicing Special Education Students Across Schools

LCPS received 2 A-G Completion Grants:

• Lighthouse - $269,954
• Lodestar - $75,000

We plan to use the grant to fund 1 full FTE (Director of Secondary Academics), a percentage of an FTE (Director of College and Career Programming), corresponding benefits, and Credit Recovery.

The budget for these two grants require Board approval.

Recommendation:  The CEO recommends approval of the 2022-23 LCSP Student Handbook.  There was an extensive legal team review in May of 2021.  

Minor Edits were made to the following sections:

• Annual notices around cameras on campus, releasing students for confidential medical appointments
• Updates to LCPS Technology Agreements for Students (based on Board Adopted Policy)
• Explicit designation of a Title VI Coordinator (re: discrimination based on race, color, or national origin)
• Updates to the 9-12 Student Uniform Policy
• Inclusion of all board adopted policies from the 21-22 year in the 22-23 Handbook as required by law.
