This session dives deeply into the collaborative efforts between Fresno County Superintendent of Schools (FCSS) and Kings Canyon Unified School District (KCUSD) to craft the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). By focusing on the vital aspects of partnerships, the local context, educational input, and needs assessments, participants will gain practical insights into how to ensure the LCAP is an effective strategic plan for the LEA. These insights will help drive lasting progress and promote equitable outcomes within educational communities. This session will also highlight the importance of consistent two-way communication, the integration of resources, and guidance to assist in identifying and addressing student needs throughout the process while ensuring compliance within the framework of the LCAP template.
