What the district plans

$5.6 million

planned in its 2026–27 plan for 14 funded actions in 3 goals. That’s 20% of its $28.5 million general fund budget. These are planned amounts; the district reports what it spent in a later plan.

The plan in short

Source: the district’s yearly spending plan (Local Control and Accountability Plan, or LCAP, 106 pages), as posted to the California School Dashboard.

Where the money goes

Three actions take 57% of the money. The plan itself puts 66% of it toward staff.

  • Student Support $1.4 million
  • Maintain Credentialed Teachers for Class Size Reduction $976,295
  • Maintain Safe Facilities $814,822

For high-need students (English learners, low-income students and foster youth) and what its goals measure
For high-need students

It plans $3.7 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $3.9 million and estimates it spent $3.1 million, $0.8 million (22%) less than planned (our arithmetic).

Ask: Why did estimated spending on these services come in $0.8 million under the 2025–26 plan, and where does that money go in 2026–27?

What its goals measure

Read these state results for the district’s own schools as context for the goals they measure; results alone can’t show what the plan caused.

Goal 3 isn’t shown because it tracks other measures.

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the district tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. We combined the district’s schools ourselves, weighted by students and leaving out charter schools. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.
