Local Control and Accountability Plan
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.
Each year, SCUSD creates an Annual Update to its three-year LCAP. Since November 2024, we have been busy reviewing the actions, metrics and investments, assessing impact and making revisions to “fine-tune” our LCAP. We have been doing this with the input of families/caregivers, community members, students, certificated and classified staff members, and administrators. This input has been happening at committee meetings (DAC and DELAC), a Superintendent’s Student Council meetings and through the input collected during Dr. Wright’s Listening and Learning Tour, rightsizing input sessions and strategic planning meetings. The draft Annual Update is now available for public review and comment. This glossary of terms may be helpful to you as you review the draft.
LCAP Draft and Public Comments
The draft LCAP Annual Update Budget Overview for Parents is available for public review and comment until June 2, 2026. The comments will inform final revisions to the LCAP for board presentation and action on June 11, 2026. Use the link below to review the public comments and questions that were received and the responses from SCUSD.

The goals, actions, and metrics will guide and focus all staff on improving student achievement for our high-need students. There is a strong alignment between the LCAP, School Single Plans for Student Achievement (SPSAs) and the district's vision and priority initiatives.
