Each year, districts are required to develop an LCAP that explains the district's:

• Prior year progress toward its goals.
• Goals and actions planned for the coming three years.
• Processes used to engage parents, students, staff, and the community in the development of the plan.

The first year of the three-year LCAP is a time to set goals, actions and desired outcomes that will span the three years. Throughout each year, program monitoring and evaluation, and analysis of student data takes place through a cycle of inquiry. In each subsequent year, an annual update is reported to the California Department of Education and based on the annual update, adjustments can be made to the plan actions and expenditures.
