The San Lorenzo Unified School District's Strategic Plan, adopted in 2024, outlines a four-year roadmap focused on ensuring student success for college, career, and life; developing civic responsibility and engagement in social justice activities; cultivating social-emotional and environmental wellness for high performance; and fostering an excellent, effective, and supportive learning and working environment for all students, families, and employees. The plan is designed to empower students to be creative, critical thinkers, and civically engaged advocates for equity and social justice.

This Federal Addendum details how the San Lorenzo Unified School District strategically uses federal funds to enhance its Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals, focusing on improving student achievement, English language acquisition, student engagement, and inclusive learning environments for all students, especially underserved populations. The plan prioritizes high-quality instruction, academic and social-emotional support, culturally responsive teaching, positive behavior interventions, comprehensive parent and family engagement, student transition programs, and continuous professional growth for educators, aiming to ensure equitable access and improved academic, linguistic, behavioral, and social-emotional outcomes.

The 2025-26 Local Control and Accountability Plan for San Lorenzo Unified School District serves as a roadmap for utilizing state funds to enhance student services, especially for high-needs populations. It is guided by a broader 2024-2027 LCAP cycle and a Four-Year Strategic Plan with aspirational goals focused on ensuring students are ready for college, career, and life success, fostering civic responsibility and social justice engagement, cultivating social-emotional and environmental wellness for all stakeholders, and maintaining a supportive learning and working environment. A key component includes an Equity Multiplier Goal for Royal Sunset High School, aiming to improve college, career, and life readiness through enhanced attendance, academic interventions, and social-emotional learning for English Learners, Long Term English Learners, Hispanic Students, and Students with Disabilities.
