Robbie Torney, Chair of the Board, led the board in a land acknowledgement of the Ohlone people.

Seeing none and hearing none, public comment was closed.

Megan Bacigalupi, Chief of Staff, presented the LCAP Public Hearing slide deck to the board. Megan updated the board on the future LCAP over the next four years and the LCAP's focus on rigorous, student-centered learning, enhanced multi-generational opportunities, and investing in educators as leaders. Megan spoke about the process of involving numerous stakeholder groups in designing the stakeholder plan such as families, students, and staff members.

The board asked about how LCPS defines multigenerational for opportunities. The board also asked about chronic absenteeism rates and the trends across schools.

Megan spoke about the intended impact goals for the 2024-2027 LCAP and the impact categories of academics, culture, and staffing. Megan responded to chronic absenteeism and how LCPS calculated the LCAP goal based on MTSS work. 

The board commented on the obtainability for LCAP goals and balancing aspirations versus actionable and achievable approaches.

Megan then talked about LCPS' strategic priorities and the differences in the LCAP, detailing how the strategies and initiatives are detailed through specific, measurable actions and what the implementation plan is.

The board asked if each LEA needs its own LCAP. Megan confirmed that they each do, but there are only slight differences which are based on certain performance measures by LEA. 

The board commented that the LCAP plan and explanation seemed clear in terms of both actions and metrics. The board gave suggestions on subgroup metric tracking, alumni outreach, and priority ranking of impact goals. The board gave suggestions on how LCPS staff can discuss the initiatives and sequence the activities that will allow for a deeper understanding that will lead to achievement.  

Anna Martin, Chief Operating Officer, gave an update to the board about the construction phase of the Capital Improvement Projects with details about permits, Lodestar's classroom construction status, turf fieldwork, and Lighthouse's modular construction process. Anna gave an update on budget monitoring and fundraising with the development department. 

The board asked about donors. Anna Martin responded that when the annual fundraising occurred, there was an option to select which project to give to, but no specific foundations have donated at this time. 

No action taken.

The Board took action by a unanimous vote to authorize the retention of a licensed third-party investigator to investigate personnel-related complaints.
