The Oroville City Elementary School District's 2025-26 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) outlines a comprehensive strategy to enhance student outcomes and address systemic challenges. It prioritizes ensuring access to highly qualified staff and maintaining safe, well-repaired school facilities. A significant focus is on improving student achievement in English Language Arts and Mathematics, aiming to close performance gaps across all student subgroups, particularly those identified as high-needs. The plan includes specific equity multiplier goals for The Studios at Central Middle School, targeting academic growth and suspension reduction for Homeless, Hispanic, and Two or More Races student populations. Additionally, it commits to strengthening school safety and expanding social-emotional learning programs district-wide, building upon foundational improvements from a Department of Justice settlement.

The Oroville City Elementary School District Board of Education is holding a public hearing to discuss a request for a two-year General Waiver from the California Department of Education to modify the Extended School Year (ESY) program. The proposal involves providing ESY services to special education students for thirteen days at six and one-quarter hours per day, instead of the traditional twenty days at four hours per day. This adjustment aims to align the schedule with the Butte County Office of Education, which also serves the district's students, and is expected to yield savings in transportation, utilities, custodial, food services, and administrative costs.
