Local Control & Accountability Plan
What is the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)?
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) was enacted in 2013, requiring all school districts in California to produce a three-year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), updated annually, with a focus on the needs of English learners/emergent multilingual students, socioeconomically disadvantaged students, and foster youth. The plan provides transparency about a district's goals, priorities, and expenditures and is developed with community input.
Current Local Control and Accountability Plan
The Campbell Union High School District Board of Trustees approved the Local Control and Accountability Plan for 2023-2024 at a public meeting on June 22, 2023, in accordance with Education Code Sections 42103, 42127, 52061, and 52062.
2023-2024 Local Control and Accountability Plan Development
The District is currently developing the 2023-2024 Local Control and Accountability Plan.
New to the development of the District's plan is the inclusion of priority recommendations from the Educational Equity Audit and Blueprint process, a two-year study completed in partnership with The Education Trust-West.

The public can view the Budget Overview for Parents for the 2019-2020 school year. Adoption occurred at the December 14, 2020, regular Board meeting.
2020-2021 Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan
The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan replaced the requirements for the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for the 2019-2020 school year. The public can view the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan by clicking here for English or here for Spanish. This plan includes a description of proposed uses for COVID-19 relief funds. Adoption of the plan occurred at the September 24, 2020, regular Board meeting.
Due to ongoing COVID-19 school closures, school districts across California have made substantial changes to their plans for the 2020-2021 school year. Each school district adopted a Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan before September 30, 2020, that described how it was providing continuity for its educational programs and services, including:
- Delivery of instruction
- Daily attendance
- Addressing learning loss
- Access to technology
- Mental health supports
- Providing meals
- Supporting students with additional needs
A Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan Committee was created with representation of staff, parents, and students to review the CUHSD's current distance learning plan and provide input on how to make improvements or add supports.
- Committee Meeting #1 Presentation
- Committee Meeting #2 Presentation
- Committee Meeting #3 Presentation
Presentations were additionally made at staff, parent/guardian, and student committees during the summer and through September. Questions from the President's Council (consisting of school site parent/guardian liaisons) and District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC), along with responses from the District Office, are provided in the document linked below.
Surveys were sent to the community multiple times since the COVID-19 closures began, including surveys about the reopening of school, learning from home, and priorities for distance learning. These surveys were used to inform the development of the plan. To the see results of these surveys follow the links below:

COVID-19 Operations Written Report
California school districts each developed a COVID-19 Operations Written Report to describe how they responded to school closures during the Spring Semester of the 2019-2020 school year. The report describes how CUHSD continued its educational programs, distributed technology, and provided meals to students during the Spring Semester school closures of the 2019-2020 school year. This report was adopted by the CUHSD Board of Trustees at the regular Board meeting held on June 25, 2020. Follow the links below to read the report.

Differentiated Assistance
The District was identified to receive Differentiated Assistance from the Santa Clara County Office of Education for the 2018-2019 school year because three CUHSD student groups (students with disabilities, African American students and English learner students) were rated “red” on multiple indicators on the California School Dashboard. These student groups are achieving far lower outcomes in academics, disproportionate suspensions, and lower rates of college and career preparation than their peers. If these ratings persist, the District will be identified for the highest level of support by the California Department of Education.
The District leadership team met with Santa Clara County Office of Education representatives for four meetings during the 2018-2019 school year, during which the team completed a root cause analysis and determined the next steps for improving student outcomes.
LCAP Committee Meeting
A committee comprised of staff and parents from all school sites participated in a review of ThoughtExchange survey comments and conducted an analysis of alignment and gaps in comparison with the current LCAP. The results were presented to the Board of Trustees at the annual Budget and LCAP Workshop on May 23.

Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
State law requires that school-level plans for programs funded through the Consolidated Application be consolidated in a Single Plan for Student Achievement (Education Code Section 64001), developed by schoolsite councils with the advice of any applicable school advisory committees. LEA’s allocate NCLB funds to schools through the Consolidated Application for Title I, Part A, Title III (Limited English Proficient), and Title V (Innovative Programs/Parental Choice). LEA’s may elect to allocate other funds to schools for inclusion in school plans. The content of the school plan includes school goals, activities, and expenditures for improving the academic performance of students to the proficient level and above. The plan delineates the actions that are required for program implementation and serves as the school's guide in evaluating progress toward meeting the goals.
Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) School Files
Local Educational Agency Plan
The approval of a Local Educational Agency (LEA) Plan by the local school board and State Board of Education was a requirement for receiving federal funding subgrants for No Child Left Behind (NCLB) programs. The LEA Plan includes specific descriptions and assurances as outlined in the provisions included in NCLB. In essence, LEA Plans describe the actions that LEAs will take to ensure that they meet certain programmatic requirements, including student academic services designed to increase student achievement and performance, coordination of services, needs assessments, consultations, school choice, supplemental services, services to homeless students, and others as required. In addition, LEA Plans summarize assessment data, school goals and activities from the Single Plans for Student Achievement developed by the LEA’s schools.
