Krishna shared an overview of the LCAP process and unduplicated students. Greg asked and Krishna shared how the school creates opportunities at all public meetings for the public to weigh-in and provide feedback, and that people can comment and suggest ideas online as well. Krishna shared that a more full draft would be ready for April. Greg asked and Krishna shared how ideally the LCAP focuses actions on specific students contributing to the unduplicated count, but that those impacts support across other student groups as well. Amy asked and Krishna shared about the need to submit the LCAP to the county and being ready to respond if needed to the county's feedback.

Daniel shared that California recently released renewal tracks for all public charter schools and that currently UMCS is designated in the low track, which is a presumptive nonrenewal and can only seek a two year term. UMCS staff are working to clarify our track status, as there seems to be a discrepancy with our English Learner information. But also, the school has been actively making plans and already implementing changes that align to the subgroups identified on the California School Dashboard, including supporting students to better translate their learning to how SBAC assesses concepts. Amy asked and Daniel responded that the school and county staff are still discussing the right timing for submission. Greg commented that the UMCS Board will need to approve the charter prior to submission, which may require scheduling a Special Meeting to do so. Kara asked and Daniel shared that right now families can help the most by supporting students to attend every single day, and that there will be more specific help asked for later in the fall.

Daniel shared that Finance Committee asked admin to bring a multiyear budget plan that includes the expenses and plans called for in the draft plan for improvement and development. Daniel supports making investments aligned to a plan to support key improvements. Greg shared that Finance Committee discussed that investing now and making gains is much more desirable than not investing, risking nonrenewal, and leaving money in the bank for no reason.
