Community Outreach on LCAP

Between November 2015 and May 2016, the district conducted 73 LCAP meetings and workshops with more than 2,000 participants and more than 30,000 responses. Meetings were held with administrators, parent groups, community-based organizations, students, bargaining units and community members. The community was invited through postcards and recorded messages sent to homes and Parent University made phone calls in home languages. Lunch meetings were held for students at each high school. The district continues to build on the outreach, and will provide more opportunities for the community to be involved in the fall.
