This document outlines the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which serves as a three-year strategic plan for the district, updated annually. It focuses on addressing the needs of emergent multilingual, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and foster youth student groups. The plan is structured around six key goals: ensuring rigorous curriculum and instruction, supporting emergent multilingual learners, fostering staff diversity and a positive school culture, providing comprehensive college and career supports, enhancing family and community engagement, and implementing an equity multiplier for Boynton High. The LCAP aims to provide transparency on district goals, priorities, and expenditures, developed with community input.
