This document serves as an information report detailing the update on California School Dashboard Local Indicators for a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). It reviews the organization's progress against eight State Priorities, including appropriate teacher assignments, sufficient instructional materials and facilities, implementation of academic content and performance standards, parental involvement and family engagement, pupil achievement, pupil engagement, school climate, and course access. The report confirms that standards were met for each priority and outlines next steps for uploading progress to the Fall 2026 Dashboard and utilizing data for refining LCAP goals and actions.

This document presents the 2026-2027 draft of the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals and actions for the Glendale Unified School District, constituting the third year of a three-year cycle. The plan details how Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) funds are allocated to meet student needs and achieve positive outcomes, aligning with state and local priorities. It outlines three primary goals: maximizing student achievement through equitable, standards-aligned instruction; fostering a positive culture of learning within a supportive, safe, and engaging environment; and ensuring the health and safety of students and employees by providing qualified staff, instructional materials, and well-maintained facilities. The LCAP emphasizes comprehensive support for socioeconomically disadvantaged students, English learners, and foster youth, and details extensive engagement with educational partners.

This Five Year Strategic Arts Plan for Glendale Unified School District aims to foster creative expression through a comprehensive, sequential, and standards-based art education program, ensuring all students master visual and performing arts (VAPA) standards and connect arts education to global learning. The plan is structured around three strategic directions: building systems of coordination, sustainability, and communication; implementing equitable, culturally relevant arts instruction from TK-12; and deepening relationships with community partners and families. Its vision encompasses persistent and equitable TK-12 arts alignment, collaborative professional development, valuing arts for holistic development, securing sustainable funding, and cultivating real-world career pathways.

The board held a special meeting to conduct a review of governance norms and established board and superintendent protocols.
