Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)
LCAP Overview
Every three years, school districts are required by the state of California to develop a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) that explains the district's:
- Goals and actions planned for the coming three years.
- Measures of progress toward meeting the goals.
- Processes used to engage parents, students, staff, and the community in the development of the plan
What is the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)?
School districts are required to develop, adopt, and annually update a three-year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). According to Education Code Section 52060, the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) must outline annual goals for all students. These goals should include specific strategies and targets for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth, aligning with both state and local priorities to ensure equitable student success.
The LCAP must also describe the specific actions that the district will take to achieve the goals it has identified with budget details that show the level and type of state and federal expenditures made to support these actions. Our three LCAP goals and actions are aligned with our District Board Goals Leadership Goals.

Annual Update
The Educational Services Team has been engaging with families via an online survey, School Site Council members, ELAC community members, site administrators, certificated and classified staff, and students to gather diverse input and ensure our efforts reflect the voices of the NUSD community.
