This document is an annual update for the Reed Union School District's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for the 2023-24 school year. It details the district's strategic direction across two primary goals: ensuring each student demonstrates proficiency and individual annual growth in core academic content areas, and supporting the development of each student's social-emotional well-being to foster a community of inclusion, equity, and diversity. The update provides analysis of progress toward these goals through various metrics, including academic performance, attendance rates, suspension data, and student/parent engagement surveys, and outlines changes to be implemented in the coming year.

This strategic plan for RUSD centers on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Kindness (DEIBK) and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Its primary objectives include developing the whole child by fostering social skills, emotional intelligence, health, and wellness. The plan also aims to cultivate a welcoming and inclusive learning environment characterized by kindness and empathy, thereby empowering students to excel, think creatively, solve problems, communicate effectively, and contribute positively to a diverse and connected global society.
