Presentation on the Annual Update to the 2021–22 LCAP and Budget Overview for Parents

California’s 2021–22 Budget Act, the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and other state and federal relief acts have provided local educational agencies (LEAs) with a significant increase in funding to support students, teachers, staff, and their communities in recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and to address the impacts of distance learning on students. Section 124(e) of Assembly Bill 130 requires LEAs to present an update on the Annual Update to the 2021–22 LCAP and Budget Overview for Parents. Presented at this meeting were:

• The Supplement to the Annual Update for the 2021–22 LCAP (2021–22 Supplement);
• All available mid-year outcome data related to metrics identified in the 2021–22 LCAP; and
• Mid-year expenditure and implementation data on all actions identified in the 2021–22 LCAP.

The 2021–22 Supplement is considered part of the 2022–23 LCAP for the purposes of adoption, review, and approval, and must be included with the LCAP as follows:
