A new LCAP requirement includes an annual Midyear Update to the LCAP to be reported to the board. Due to the LA fires, this requirement was pushed back to happen before the end of March. 

 

All LCAP school academic data is reported on a one year lag in order to ensure verifiable state data. We are on track for all metrics with the exception of Chronic Absenteeism and Attendance. 

 

The amendment is a shift in how we report the use of Title 1 funds. We are transitioning our use of funds from a targeted program to a schoolwide program.
