Don't Forget: We Need Your Input

Each year, our district engages in the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) process to set goals and priorities that support student success. As part of this process, we invite families to share their input through our annual LCAP survey.

New this year, we are also offering a second survey specifically for families of students who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This additional survey will help us better understand and support the experiences of students receiving special education services.

Please take a few moments to complete the survey that applies to your family:
