What the district plans (2026–27 plan)
For 2026–27, the district’s LCAP budgets $9.3 million across 26 funded actions in 3 goals—with 68% ($6.3 million) concentrated in Goal 3. It budgets $7.4 million in services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth ($4.9 million projected in extra state funding), after reporting $6.8 million in estimated actual spending on those services in 2025–26 against $6.2 million planned ($649,357 more than planned, our arithmetic).
Every spring, the district adopts a three-year plan (the LCAP) setting its goals, the programs it budgets for 2026–27, and the targets it measures itself against. These are planned amounts, not what the district later spent.

“Marked as contributing to high-need services” is the district’s own label for an action it counts toward its required services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. The amount beside each title is the action’s total funds; the plan counts only the part it funds from the LCFF toward that requirement, and where that part is smaller we print it. Baselines, outcomes and targets are printed as the district wrote them in its plan’s results table. The outcomes are the district’s own reporting.
What changed since last year’s plan
Action budgets went from $7.6 million in the 2025–26 plan to $9.3 million in the 2026–27 plan (+$1.7 million, our arithmetic). 22 of the 26 actions whose titles we could confirm also appear in last year’s plan.
