2024-2025 LCAP

As a result of the approval process with the Los Angeles County Office of Education, no material changes to the Board Approved LCAP were made, including no changes to the total budget or the goal budgets.  There were minor changes to the LCAP, mostly adding more details to descriptions. Here are some highlights:

Metrics:
To provide more clarity, all metrics in the LCAP have a source for the measurement.  Additional and revised metrics that were recommended are as follows:

• M6.5- (new) Added to align with Action 6.2
• M7.6- Revised to include the unduplicated student groups (EL, Foster, Low-Income), as well as All students.
• M7.14- (new) Staff Connectedness metric.  This is a required metric.
• M7.13- (new) Staff Safety metric.  This is a required metric
• M8.1- Revised to align with the new state definitions of “compliance with teacher credential requirements” and “compliance with assignment requirements.”

Focus Goals:
Goals 2, 3, 4 and 5 are the Goals in the LCAP that we have been calling the “Equity Flashlight” goals, focusing on our historically underserved student populations. Designation as a Focus Goal holds that the goal must be time-bound and measurable.  Since these goals are an outgrowth of Goal 1- “High Quality Learning”, LBUSD added this stem to the Goal descriptions for Goals 2-4. 

Action Description Revisions:
There were a handful of minor revisions to the descriptions of the following Actions:

• Action 3.2 was added by taking one program out of Action 3.1- EL Coaches and Specialists.  The budget for Goal 3 did not change.
• Action 4.1 (Special Education Support- Base)-  LACOE recognized two programs that were described in the Goal’s description and they felt should be highlighted in Action 4.1.  These two programs are Collaborative Co-Teaching and Secondary Inclusion Classrooms.  Since both of these programs were already included in the budget for 4.1, there was no change to the item’s budget.
• Action 4.4 was determined to not be a “Contributing Action” because these teachers are specifically working with students with disabilities.  The budget for this Action remains unchanged.
• Action 7.5 was determined to be a “Contributing Action” meaning that it principally benefits unduplicated students and it’s also a program that is Level-wide meaning that it also benefits all students at the level(s) served.  The budget remains unchanged for this item.

Increased and Improved Services:
The majority of revisions in this section are added data points in the second column.  The third column has a description of the Contributing Action listed, as well as why LBUSD is choosing to provide these services to all students, while also ensuring that the unduplicated students are focused beneficiaries. 

Plan Summary:
This is the first section of the LCAP and there were some minor revisions, mostly to clarify the narrative.

• Examples of Support (page 17): Since Goal 3 was split into two Actions, a change of reference was made.  Also, the references for Students with Disabilities was revised to include Actions 4.1 and 4.4.
• Expectations for School Allocations (page 30)- The following two additions in the narrative bring a stronger accountability for schools’ use of their LCFF allocations.
• Technical Assistance (page 31)- Four references were changed by LACOE as to the criteria for assistance.  This change did not affect the overall technical assistance work.
