The 2025-26 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for Pacific Union School District focuses on academic success, nurturing a positive school climate, and ensuring campus pride and safety. Key areas of focus include providing high-quality, standards-based education, supporting social-emotional development, and maintaining a safe and secure campus environment. The plan aims to address the diverse needs of all students, including unduplicated pupils (English Learners, foster youth, and low-income students), through various programs and supports, such as individualized instruction, access to enrichment activities, and mental health services. The LCAP also emphasizes engaging educational partners, such as teachers, parents, and students, in the decision-making process to ensure alignment with community needs and priorities.
