the instructional program

LCAP Year 1 Progress*

* LCAP provides for a 3 year plan, i.e. 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17

Examples of the added staff include:

• Eighteen (18) additional teachers at the grades K-3 to meet the 24:1 student to teacher ratio by the State target year 2020-21

K-5 Collaboration Time

LCAP supported hiring additional Tutor/Mentors, with Counselor

oversight

College and Career Counselors and Centers

LCAP Performance Metrics • Final progress determination of a number of LCAP

metrics will need to wait until the school-year culminates, for example, graduation rates.

Three LCAP measures are available:

• Student attendance is 1.2% above the 2014-15 year-end target of 96.3 %.

• Suspension target is set at a .5% reduction, and for this fall is reported as a favorable reduction of .8%.
