The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for Lost Hills Union School District outlines strategies to improve student outcomes and engagement. It focuses on three key goals: ensuring all students are on track for college and career readiness through enhanced instruction, technology, and professional development; creating a safe and welcoming learning environment by improving student wellness, attendance, and school climate; and strengthening parent and family engagement through resources, training, and accessible communication channels. The plan aims to address academic disparities, reduce chronic absenteeism, and foster strong family-school partnerships, particularly for English Learners and socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
