LEARNING CONTINUITY AND ATTENDANCE PLAN

Senate Bill (SB) 98 established that the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and Annual Update are not required for the 2020/2021 school year and that the California Department of Education (CDE) shall not publish the California School Dashboard in December 2020 based on performance data on the state and local indicators. SB 98 supersedes the requirement to develop and adopt an LCAP by December 15, 2020, which was established by Executive Order N-56-20, which was published in April 2020.

The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP) documents the efforts the district will take in 2020/2021 to:

Provide continuity of learning
Address the impact of COVID-19 on pupils, staff, and the community
Provide classroom-based instruction and distance learning
Support students who have experienced learning loss due to school closures
Support students’ mental health, and social/emotional well-being
Provide school nutrition for students attending school in-person and through distance learning
Provide professional development for teachers and staff to support distance learning and social distancing practices

Local Control Accountability Plan

The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and Annual Update for 2020/2021 has been suspended due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Once the California Department of Education reinstates the LCAP requirements, the district will reconvene our the LCAP Stakeholder Committee to provide input into the next three-year LCAP. The LCAP and will be presented to the Board of Trustees by the LCAP Stakeholder Committee members during the regular School Board Meeting in May for their review. The timeline for the LCAP School Board approval timeline is as follows:

TBD – Presentation to the Board / LCAP Stakeholders Committee Members

TBD – Public Hearing / Local Control Accountability / Annual Update

TBD – Approval of Local Control Accountability Plan / Annual Update

The LCAP Stakeholder Advisory Committee meets during the months of November, January, February, and April to review the FSD LCAP and Annual Update. The Committee reviews the FSD LCAP Goals, Actions and Services to support the Goals, and the metrics to measure student achievement as well the Annual Update. The LCAP Stakeholder Committee members are from district organizations and departments listed in the LCAP brochure.

A link below to the LCAP Stakeholder Feedback Survey is open through March 31st where FSD parents, staff, or students are invited to Review the LCAP draft and Annual Update and to make comments and/or to ask any questions. The feedback will be reviewed and incorporated into the FSD LCAP draft, as appropriate, and the Superintendent, Dr. Robert Pletka, will provide written answers to individuals with questions.
