Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)
The LCAP is a critical part of California’s funding and accountability system for public schools. It outlines the district’s goals for student achievement, as well as the actions and investments planned to meet those goals—especially for students who are English learners, in foster care, or from low-income households. The plan is developed with input from families, staff, students, and the community to ensure it reflects shared priorities and supports student success.
