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.

NUSD LCAP Goals

Goal 1:  
Student Achievement: Provide equitable, challenging and engaging instructional settings, incorporating a multi-tiered support system for English Learners, to promote academic success for all students. 
 
Goal 2:  

Engagement and School Climate: Support and foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for all parents, families, and community as partners in the education and support of all students' success in school. This aligns with District Strategic Goal 3, Parent and Community Engagement and Communication.

Goal 3:

Conditions of Learning: Promote high quality learning conditions and a safe environment to enrich the social, emotional, and physical health of all students. This goal aligns with District Strategic Goal 2, Safe, Secure and Healthy Learning Environments.

Goal 4:
Equity Multiplier Goal: Bridgepoint High School will reduce the Hispanic suspension rate, the socioeconomically disadvantaged suspension rate, and students with disabilities suspension rate. In addition, support will be given for students to graduate, and for students to be prepared for, and pursue, college or a career.


Annual Update

Each year, NUSD prepares an Annual Update to its three-year LCAP. Since November 2025, the LCAP Committee has been actively evaluating the actions, metrics, and investments, assessing their impact, and making revisions to refine and improve our LCAP.

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.  

 The Annual Update was first posted for public review on May 21, 2026 and an updated version was posted on June 4, 2026.  A Public Hearing for the 2026-2027 LCAP was held on June 10, 2026, and the Board approved the 2026-2027 LCAP on June 17, 2026.
