Board reviews LCAP midyear update; staff report progress on attendance and English‑learner growth

District staff presented the midyear Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) report and described progress across four priorities: students, empowered educators, engaged families and strong infrastructure. The presenter said green check marks in the LCAP executive summary indicate goals met this year and that the district has seen "significant growth in our academic performance of our English learners and our socioeconomically disadvantaged students" alongside improved attendance metrics.

Staff reported specific local indicators: about 86% of teachers have clear credentials, 100% of students have access to standards‑aligned instructional materials, and facility fit‑reports showed no facilities rated as not in good repair. The presenter noted areas needing continued work, including English‑learner proficiency and outcomes for students with disabilities. The district said it will update reclassification and participation data prior to final LCAP approval at the next meeting.

The board opened the public hearing and closed it after no speakers registered; trustees praised the addition of a student ambassador program that informed the LCAP process and asked staff to continue engagement and follow up on outstanding metrics.

Final approval of the LCAP was scheduled for the board's next meeting when revised metrics and any outstanding documents will be presented for formal adoption.
