Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)
Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
Background
In 2013, the California Department of Education (CDE) revised education code to develop the new California School Accountability System, and to establish the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). LCFF is used to allocate state funding to all school districts. This includes base funding for all districts as well as additional supplemental and concentration grants based on the unduplicated number of English learner, low-income, and foster youth students.
The LCAP is used to show how LCFF funding will be spent by a school district to improve student outcomes. The LCAP shall demonstrate how services are provided to meet the needs of unduplicated English leaner, low-income, and foster youth students and improve the performance of all pupils in the eight state priority areas (Education Code ch. 14.5, §15494).
-
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) lists eight state priority areas that every district must address in their Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) to ensure a high-quality educational program for students focused on conditions for learning, engagement, and pupil outcomes. Each of the eight areas is listed below along with the indicators of success the state calls out. Each local district can use additional indicators of success as well.
-
Priority 1: Basic Services
Ensuring appropriately assigned and credentialed teachers, access to standards-aligned instructional materials, and safe, well-maintained school facilities. -
Priority 2: Implementation of State Standards
Implementing state academic content standards and supporting English learners in accessing the Common Core and English Language Development standards. -
Priority 3: Parent and Family Engagement
Promoting meaningful parent and family involvement in decision making, with a focus on families of low-income students, English learners, foster youth, and students with disabilities. -
Priority 4: Student Achievement
Improving academic outcomes including state assessment performance, college and career readiness, English learner progress, reclassification rates, and advanced coursework success. -
Priority 5: Student Engagement
Increasing attendance and graduation rates while reducing chronic absenteeism and dropout rates. -
Priority 6: School Climate
Maintaining safe, supportive learning environments as measured by suspension and expulsion rates and school climate surveys. -
Priority 7: Course Access
Providing all students access to a broad course of study, including programs and services for unduplicated students and students with disabilities. -
Priority 8: Pupil Outcomes
Ensuring students demonstrate knowledge and skills in the district’s adopted course of study across grade levels.

- Goal #1 – All students will engage in learning from highly qualified staff, aligned instruction with current state standards and rigorous curriculum to maximize potential and be college and career ready.
The actions within this goal are designed to engage students in rigorous learning opportunities maximizing every student’s potential to be college, career, and life ready. These learning opportunities are provided by highly qualified staff, rigorous curriculum, and a variety of courses and CTE pathways. We will achieve this through data analysis at all grade levels and in all significant student groups using various state and local assessments for every learner to be successful.
- Goal #2 – All students, families, and community educational partners will be actively engaged to ensure learning in a physically and emotionally safe and positive environment for all students.
The actions within this goal are designed to build and support educational partner engagement to promote a physically and emotionally safe and positive learning environment. We will monitor and evaluate student attendance and suspension data to measure the impact of the Positive Behavior Intervention Support and Restorative Practices and the School Resource Deputy. School facilities will be maintained in exemplary condition to contribute to the safe and positive learning environment for students and staff. Survey feedback, participation in Parent University, and ParentSquare will provide evidence of the
communication between the district and families and the community.
- Goal #3 – By June 2026, PRIDE High School will reduce the suspension rate of socioeconomically disadvantaged students by 7% and Hispanic students by 5% by implementing targeted intervention programs, support personnel, and receiving staff professional development. In addition, by June 2026, PRIDE High School will increase student course completion for various employment trades by implementing hands-on course work to become career ready.
This goal was developed because PRIDE High School was identified as a school receiving the Equity Multiplier funding. We prioritized this goal after consultation with Educational Partners and review of data showing the area of need for this goal is to address the high percentage of suspensions and course access.
- Goal #1 – All students will engage in learning from highly qualified staff, aligned instruction with current state standards and rigorous curriculum to maximize potential and be college and career ready.
