Local Control & Accountability Plan

Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP)

Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) which describes how they intend to meet annual District-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Each LEAs LCAP describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student outcomes.

Enacted along with California's new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) regulations, the LCAP includes the requirement that districts outline their use of LCFF Supplemental and Concentration grant funding. These funds are used both for centralized actions/services as well as for unduplicated student support. Unduplicated students are those students that are Socioeconomically Disadvantaged or English Learners. As a district with more than 55% unduplicated students, EUSD receives both Supplemental and Concentration grant funding.

The 2021-2024 LCAP and the subsequent LCAP annual and mid-year reviews are facilitated through a number of committees - including the Parent Advisory Committee, Student Advisory Committee, School Site Councils, Evergreen Elementary English Learner Advisory Committee, employee groups, and finally submitted to the Board of Education each June. EUSD has a strong record of stakeholder engagement in district-level planning and continues to partner with these committees in shaping the district’s vision and actions for the coming years.

The analysis and reflection of student outcomes from the 2019-2020 LCAP and the 2020-2021 LCP have informed the development of the 2021-2024 LCAP by giving voice to the three new goals that guide our work. We want to ensure that as we move forward into the future, we do not lose sight of our historical values represented by the 2017-2020 LCAP goals (safe learning environments, academic achievement, collaborative learning environments and positive growth cycles, and parent involvement), but do recognize the reality of the pandemic and the subsequent changes that have happened in education. Everyone, staff and students alike, have been impacted by the pandemic and the subsequent change to the school culture. Supporting them through this change is our greatest challenge and will continue to be so until we are able to embrace the resilience we have developed and applaud the new school system we create as a result - a system that is more centered on the learner, infused with equity, and grounded in engagement.

Pupil learning will continue to be at the forefront of the LCAP as it is the reason we are in business. As such, we will continue to use the cycle of assessment, reflection, planning, and teaching to attend to the unique learning needs of each student.

We will continue to address this by ensuring students have a safe, healthy, inclusive space to have optimal opportunity to learn and grow; provide services and instruction that lead to ever increasing student achievement outcomes; and finally, ensure all students are supported and challenged in this process in an engaging environment.
