VII. PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION/ACTION
VII.a. Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Update
Recommended Motion:

Review the Annual Update portions of the DJUSD Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). This will include an overview of the LCAP components, state priorities, DJUSD goals, and stakeholder engagement process.  Staff will include a summary of District progress, needs, and performance gaps, and provide an update on the process for revisions in anticipation for the 2019-20 plan.


This is an informational item, and no action is required. 


Rationale:

The Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD) Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) was approved in June of 2017 as a three year document. The goals, actions, services, and budget are written to outline DJUSD's approach to meeting California State Priorities and the needs of our unduplicated student population.

Staff is responsible for simultaneously implementing the plan and reviewing progress on actions, services, and spending.  The Instructional Services team also uses progress indicators like the California School Dashboard, YouthTruth, focus groups, and extensive stakeholder feedback to analyze impact and inform revisions from year to year.

The LCAP document will be shared in segments over three public meetings:  First, the Plan Summary; second, the Annual Update; and third, the Goals/Actions/Expenditures for 2019-2020.

 
Financial Impact:
None at this time.
