The 2022-2023 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) for Traver Elementary School District outlines five key goals focused on improving student achievement in ELA and mathematics, enhancing services for English learners, upgrading technology infrastructure, increasing parent and community involvement, and improving school facilities and climate. The plan addresses identified needs based on previous year's data, including low performance in math and English Language Arts, and suspension rates. Strategies include hiring and retaining fully credentialed teachers, implementing Common Core aligned curriculum, providing additional support through paraprofessionals and intervention programs, upgrading technology, and enhancing parent engagement through various events and activities. The plan prioritizes support for English learners, low-income students, and foster youth, allocating resources to address their specific needs and close achievement gaps.

The Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant Plan for Traver Elementary School District outlines a two-tiered approach to address academic and social-emotional learning loss resulting from the pandemic. Academically, the plan focuses on intensive in-class support and after-school tutoring for students below grade level in reading and math, utilizing instructional aides and a tiered system (1, 2, 3) to prioritize students for summer school and ongoing support. Social-emotional well-being will be addressed through increased mental health services from school psychologists and counselors, utilizing student surveys and referrals to identify students in need. The plan details how parents, teachers, and staff were involved in its development, how students will be identified and assessed, how parents will be informed, and how the grant funds will be coordinated with other federal relief funds. The expenditure plan allocates funds for extending instructional time, closing learning gaps, integrated student supports, community learning hubs, support for credit-deficient students, additional academic services, and staff training.
