This Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) outlines the Natomas Unified School District's goals, actions, services, and expenditures to foster positive student outcomes and address state and local priorities. The plan is structured around seven key goals: maximizing academic growth and achievement, cultivating student social-emotional well-being, creating safe and engaging school environments, engaging parents and families to support student success, and hiring, training, and retaining high-quality staff.

The Natomas Unified School District's Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (LEAP) plan serves as a roadmap to extend learning beyond the traditional school day, providing safe, inclusive, and enriching environments. Its mission is to close opportunity gaps and accelerate learning through high-quality, student-centered programming focused on academic support, enrichment, and whole-child development. Key areas include fostering safe and supportive environments, active and engaged learning, skill building, youth voice and leadership, healthy choices, diversity, access, and equity, quality staff, collaborative partnerships, continuous quality improvement, and effective program management. The program aims to develop well-rounded learners prepared for academic success and positive community contributions.
