AUSD FAMILY LCAP SURVEY 2025

Dear AUSD Families,

The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is our District’s roadmap for improving student achievement. As we enter the second year of the LCAP cycle, your input is essential to shaping this plan effectively.
Our LCAP focuses on three main priorities:
1. Students demonstrating growth in mastering both English Language Arts and mathematics standards and all English Language Learners demonstrating growth in developing English language proficiency.
2. Cultivating positive school environments where students feel connected, safe, supported, and engaged.
3. Increasing family and parent engagement within our schools with a focus on actively engaging families from underrepresented groups.
This short survey will take about 10–15 minutes to complete. Your feedback is vital, and we sincerely appreciate your time and participation.
