Senate Bill 98 removed the requirement for the LCAP for the 2020-2021 school year and established the Learning Continuity Plan (LCP).
The purpose of the LCP is to memorialize the planning process already underway for the 2020-2021 school year which includes descriptions of the following:
-
Addressing gaps in learning;
-
Conducting meaningful stakeholder engagement;
-
Maintaining transparency;
-
Addressing the needs of unduplicated pupils, students with unique needs, and students experiencing homelessness;
-
Providing access to necessary devices and connectivity for distance learning;
-
Providing resources and supports to address student and staff mental health and social emotional well-being; and,
-
Continuing to provide school meals for students.
The Statute requires that a school district (also called a LEA) hold a Public Hearing for review and comment on the Learning Continuity Plan. The draft LCP was presented as a Public Hearing at the September 8th Board of Education meeting and has been made available on the Educational Services web page for review and feedback from the community.
The updated LCP was brought back to the Board on September 22. With direction from the Board, the LCP was further updated based on feedback received and presented to the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) on September 29. The same was also shared with members of DELAC and PTAC for feedback.
Tonight, staff seek the Board's approval of the 2020-2021 Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan.
