District education staff presented the first reading of Gilroy Unified’s 2024–25 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), describing a three‑year planning cycle, goals, actions and the metrics the district will use to monitor progress.
The LCAP presentation explained that the plan is organized around five overarching goals. The fifth goal is new this year and is dedicated to the state’s equity multiplier funding, which the district must use to support Mount Madonna High School after the site was identified for comprehensive support and improvement (CSI). "Mount Madonna High School was identified for both CSI and the equity multiplier," a presenter said, noting that the school meets eligibility thresholds tied to chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged pupils.
Staff described planned uses for the equity multiplier funds at Mount Madonna including expanded career and technical education (CTE) opportunities (an existing culinary academy supported by a probation department grant), updated instructional technology (Chromebooks), expanded wellness center supplies and after‑school dual‑enrollment partnerships.
Presenters reviewed the LCAP’s three‑year goals and action tables, which tie LCFF, federal and other funding streams to specific actions for targeted student groups (English learners, foster youth, students with disabilities and other subgroups). Kermit (presentation staff) described changes to reporting and the increased requirement to show how expenditures support targeted populations, and trustees asked how repeated items from last year’s plan will be clarified in the final document.
The LCAP was presented as a first reading; staff said they will bring a final document back to the board for approval on June 13 and will submit it to the county for review by June 30. County technical assistance will continue as the district refines goals tied to the California Dashboard and the state’s eight priorities.
