Local Control Accountability Plan Input

Beginning July 1, 2013, the State of California changed the funding formula for public education and requires school districts to develop a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The LCAP is a plan that aligns the District's educational goals with financial resources. The Orcutt Union School District would like your opinion on possible goals to include in the Local Control Accountability Plan. These draft goals were developed based on the Orcutt Union School District's Core Values and Strategic Goals and the priorities identified by the State Board of Education. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with our Board of Trustees, and for entrusting us to educate the students in our community.
