Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan Updates
SDCOE teams completed the review of Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (Learning Continuity Plan or LCP) for San Diego County’s 42 districts. As a reminder, local educational agencies (LEAs) must prominently post the plan on the homepage of the LEA's website, consistent with the LCAP posting requirements as specified in Ed Code Sections 52065 and 47606.5.
Additionally, county offices of education (COEs) must prominently post all Local Continuity Plans (or links to the plans) submitted by school districts and charter schools on the COE's website. LCPs have been added to districts and charter schools tabs on SDCOE's school directory webpage.
It is likely that aspects of LEA Learning Continuity Plans may change throughout the year in response to local needs. Please note:
- There is no requirement for LEAs to revise their LCP.
- LEAs are encouraged to revise their plans as necessary, in collaboration with stakeholders, and to post their updated plans on their LEA website.
- Revised plans are not required to be resubmitted to COEs or authorizers.
Budget Overview for Parents Required by Dec. 15
Senate Bill 98 added Ed Code Section 43509, which changed the adoption date for the Budget Overview for Parents for the 2020-21 school year. For 2020-21, local governing boards or governing bodies are required to adopt and submit the Budget Overview for Parents on or before Dec. 15, in conjunction with the LEA’s first interim budget report.
The business advisor for each district will send out a Budget Overview for Parents review checklist that we will be using to assist in our review at SDCOE. This is an additional tool that can be utilized to assist in the completion of the Budget Overview for Parents.
Important items to note:
- Must be approved on or before Dec. 15, with the LEA’s first interim budget
- Required to prominently post the Budget Overview for Parents on the LEA’s homepage along with the LCP and the LCAP Federal Addendum, if applicable
- The statute is silent regarding adopting the Budget Overview for Parents and the first interim report as separate agenda items. As such, this decision should be determined locally, consistent with the needs of the LEA and local community.

Annual Update to the LCAP
SB 820 requires a school district, county office of education, and/or charter school to include the information reported in its LCAP for the 2019-20 school year in the annual update to the LCAP for the 2021-22 school year. The bill requires the superintendent, in consultation with the executive director of the state board, to revise the template for the annual update to the Local Control and Accountability Plan before Jan. 31, to reflect the inclusion of the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan in the annual update to LCAP for the 2021-22 school year.
Local Indicators
California School Dashboard local indicators do not need to be uploaded for the 2020 Dashboard. The 'typical' deadline for local indicator uploads would have been Nov. 1. However, it is advised that districts begin the local indicators self-reflection process for 2020-21 since the 2020-21 local indicator data will be included in LCAP development.

Multi-Tiered System of Supports and Supporting Student and Staff Social and Emotional Needs
California's Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework promotes the maxim "All Means All," which ensures LEAs and schools successfully implement efforts to meet the needs of each and every student. This allows all students to participate in the general education curriculum, instruction, and activities of their grade-level peers. The Local Control Funding Formula and the LCAP aligned to California's eight state priorities provide the infrastructure for building a statewide system of support — California’s MTSS framework is the driver for implementation
MTSS Connecting the Dots
CA MTSS is a framework that supports equity-based inclusion to address students' academic, behavioral, and social-emotional learning within a fully integrated system of support. To see how California state priorities and CA MTSS align, explore these links:
