WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: LCAP Survey
|
In 2013, the State of California changed the way education is funded. School districts are required to develop a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) that includes input from students, teachers, parents, and community members on the goals, actions, and budget priorities. Please take a few moments to assist us with this important process. Your input matters! You can access the survey through Monday, April 8th in English or in Vietnamese.
We have put together a brief infographic in English and Vietnamese that includes an update on various metrics we use to measure performance. It is a great way to learn more about the progress we continue to make toward our District's Goals.
