The plan also details enrollment priorities and the application process for interested students.

This document outlines the district's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which serves as a roadmap for student success and is developed through community partnership. The plan is structured around four primary goals: ensuring equitable conditions for learning through qualified teachers, maintained facilities, and current instructional materials; delivering high-quality instruction with rigorous, state-aligned learning experiences and ongoing teacher support; supporting the whole child and community by prioritizing positive relationships, equity, and targeted assistance for vulnerable students; and accelerating learning for English language learners to achieve English proficiency and academic excellence, including through dual language immersion programs. The overarching vision is to build a brighter future for every student.
