Educational Support Services

The LCAP is an important tool that helps our district decide how to use resources to best support students. Updated each year, the LCAP outlines our goals for student success, the actions and services we will provide, and how we will measure our progress. Family, staff, student, and community input helps shape these priorities and ensures our district’s plans reflect the needs of our students.
