This document outlines the proposed 2026-27 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), a legally-required three-year plan detailing goals, actions, services, and expenditures for student outcomes. The plan is structured around three core goals: ensuring optimal conditions for learning through aligned standards, prepared teachers, and a safe environment; promoting academic growth and proficiency for all students, including English Learners, to prepare them for college and career readiness; and fostering engagement among parents, staff, and the community to enhance educational opportunities.

The Local Control and Accountability Plan for Centralia Elementary School District serves as a comprehensive framework to enhance student learning, engagement, and overall well-being. It focuses on three key areas: ensuring optimal conditions for learning through qualified teachers, appropriate materials, and safe environments; improving pupil outcomes by fostering academic growth and proficiency for all students, especially English Learners and other identified subgroups; and strengthening engagement by promoting meaningful opportunities for parents, staff, and the wider community within a supportive and inspirational setting. The plan emphasizes data-driven instruction, targeted interventions for high-needs students, professional development, and robust family and community partnerships to achieve college and career readiness for all students.
