LCAP Season
Time to Share Your Thoughts

As we prepare for the District's upcoming 2018-2019 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Season, we welcome you to the District's LCAP Season website which contains important information on the development of the LCAP, including the District's 2017-2020 overview infographics. These infographics communicate the district's LCAP in a visually appealing format, as well as student achievement and budgetary information. We hope these documents will be useful as you prepare to provide your input in the development of next year's LCAP. The LCAP Season will begin in late February 2018.

As we proceed in this process, I will be communicating with you on a continual basis. Thank you for your valuable participation in the past. I know that, together, we will continue to support providing a world-class education for all OMSD students.
