Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Derek Horowitz, Principal, dhorowit@lausd.net, (818) 773-4700 LCAP Year: 2014 Nobel Charter MS (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 50 Nobel Charter MS (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 50 Nobel Charter MS (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 50 Nobel Charter MS (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in April, the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership presented and discussed the proposal at the parent meeting in April and the school's April SSC meeting and sent out an electronic Nobels stakeholders made no changes to the draft that they were presented. Suggestions for motivational programs to improve attendance and increase student motivation were made.
Page 5 of 50 Nobel Charter MS (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 version to all faculty members, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to oral feedback, the school solicited written comments from staff members and parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council (Charter Council) for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the
Page 6 of 50 Nobel Charter MS (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

C. Describe the LEAs increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or schoolwide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the districts goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
The school expects to receive $182,189 based on the number and concentration of unduplicated students enrolled in the school. The school will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above. Where access to programs for with 13724 funds will be available school wide (AVID and Parent Institute for Quality Education), our low income, foster youth and English Learner pupils will receive the highest priority in receiving these services. The size and scope of these programs leaves room available for parents and students not in the subgroups to have access to these services.

Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.
The school must increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 15495, for its unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners) by 7.67% above the services provided to all students. The school will meet this requirement by providing the additional services described in Section 3B above.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Shelly Brower, Principal, shelly.brower@lausd.net (661) 284-6016 LCAP Year: 2014 Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies, A District-Affiliated Charter School
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 44 Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 15, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 44 Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 15, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In developing the LCAP for Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies, the principal took several steps to communicate the purpose of LCFF to the school community. On March 25, 2014 the principal presented an introductory information session about LCFF during a meeting of the PTA. In March the principal convened two introductory informational meetings as part of our Governance Council, one for parents (March 20, 2014) and one for school staff (March 18, 2014) during our faculty meeting, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. On April 21, 2014, the principal met with a core group of students to explain the LCAP and to get feedback from the students. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for intervention services to students as well as short-term targeted intervention for English learners to assist them in the CELDT and increasing a level on their ELD portfolio, aimed at gaining proficiency, reclassifying and reducing the number of Long Term English Learners (LTELS).
Teacher input led to maintaining full- time teacher assistant positions with a Limited Contract Teacher intervention position and one full-time paraprofessional to assist in the science lab.
In response to student input, the school will incorporate afterschool intervention in the areas of language arts and math. Students wanted more physical education
Page 5 of 44 Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 15, 2014 On April 24, 2014 the LCAP budget was submitted to the Governance Council and approved by the Council.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, and a Governance Council meeting was held, and the LCAP was put on the agenda for April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and five parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council (Governance Council) for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
equipment, which can be purchased through IMA. Furthermore, Beckford has applied for a grant entitled Choose Health LA Project in which teachers attend professional development and the school is awarded physical education equipment valued up to $2000.00.
There are 151 unduplicated students identified as either foster children, English learners, or from socioeconomically disadvantaged families whose needs are met through the learning centers and additional targeted intervention instruction daily. Academic progress for students in foster care and from low-socioeconomic subgroups will be closely monitored by the classroom teacher and targeted instruction and intervention is provided by the classroom teacher, LCT and Teacher Assistants.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals.
Page 6 of 44 Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 15, 2014 Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites?

Page 1 of 39 Calahan Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 30, 2014 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Liane Jacob, Ed.D., Principal, liane.jacob@lausd.net LCAP Year: 2014 Calahan Community Charter (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 39 Calahan Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 39 Calahan Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 30, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 39 Calahan Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in April the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to the replacement of eight part-time teacher assistant positions with a full-time intervention coordinator position and two full-time paraprofessionals to be tasked with the design and implementation of an intervention center.
In response to input from staff and parents, in addition to other considerations, increased classroom aides, funded classroom technology, funded instructional materials, and provided funds for staff training in support of implementation of the common core standards.
Page 5 of 39 Calahan Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 30, 2014 plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and a few parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 39 Calahan Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 30, 2014 between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Carpenter Community Charter (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be
Page 3 of 44 CARPENTER COMMUNITY CHARTER (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District APRIL 24, 2014 consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 4 of 44 CARPENTER COMMUNITY CHARTER (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District APRIL 24, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 5 of 44 CARPENTER COMMUNITY CHARTER (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District APRIL 24, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in April the school convened two Introductory, informational meetings, one for parents/community members and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Less funding and a lower enrollment forecast for 2014- 2015 led to the closing of two part-time temporary personnel positions.
Page 6 of 44 CARPENTER COMMUNITY CHARTER (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District APRIL 24, 2014 staff meeting, a Governance Council meeting, a student council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from,
Page 7 of 44 CARPENTER COMMUNITY CHARTER (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District APRIL 24, 2014 school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Victoria Littlejohn, Principal, victoria.littlejohn@lausd.net, 818-360-1908 LCAP Year: 2014 Castlebay Lane Charter Elementary (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 42 Castlebay Lane Charter Elementary School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School - Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 42 Castlebay Lane Charter Elementary School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School - Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop Castlebay Lane Charters LCAP, the Principal took several steps to seek input from all stakeholders. On March 13, 2014, the Principal presented introductory information about the LCFF at a parents meeting and began to solicit their ideas. LCFF information was also presented and discussed at our ELAC meetings on February 21, 2014, and March 12, 2014, and at our Governance meeting, open to all stakeholders, on February 24, 2014, where the priorities to meet the needs of the schools 140 foster children, English Learners, and low- income students were discussed.
All stakeholders were given the opportunity to participate and voice their priorities for how our funding would be spent during staff meetings, Governance Board meetings, ELAC meetings, and PATH (Parents and Students Helping) meetings, using data from our school summary sheet, CST scores, AMAOs, and attendance data, to lead these discussions. Additionally, the 5 th grade students of our Student Council were given an opportunity to give their input when the Principal participated in their Student Council meeting on March 19, 2014.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for intervention services to all students in jeopardy of not meeting standards, as well as targeted intervention for English Learners to assist them in gaining proficiency and reclassifying, thus reducing the potential number of Long term English Learners.
Teacher input led to the purchase of a class size reduction teacher for grades 4 and 5, to assure that class sizes in those grades met or fell below the district norm. Additionally, funds were put aside to purchase teaching assistants who will help classroom teachers with small group instruction.
In response to student input, money has been set aside to
Page 5 of 42 Castlebay Lane Charter Elementary School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School - Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, and disseminated the written draft for review and commentary by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a Governance Board meeting, and the school's March ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As the final step, the school Governance Board reviewed the revised proposal for its approval to submit the LCAP document to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Governance Board approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
explore the possibility of increasing our allotment of one day every other week with the credentialed PE teacher, in addition to the PE lessons taught by the homeroom teachers.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 42 Castlebay Lane Charter Elementary School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School - Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

C. Describe the LEAs increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a district wide, school wide, countywide, or charter wide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a district wide or school wide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the districts goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
Castlebay Lane Charter expects to receive $4,321,334 in funds for its students in the 2014-2015 school year. Of those funds, $3,455,714 is from the general fund, which includes salaries for: Principal, teachers, plant manager, SAA, office technician, buildings and grounds worker, day to day subs, itinerant arts teacher, itinerant nurse, itinerant school psychologist, itinerant PE teacher, tempo personnel, clerical subs, maintenance and operations supplies, general supplies, and instructional materials. Those monies are spent school wide and are described in Section 3A. There is $76,004 for the cafeteria workers; $3,315 for the Mandated Cost-C Smith Schools; $302,323 for Special Ed Assistants; $157,549 for the Resource Specialist Teacher; and $21,030 for Campus Aides, which benefit all students, all described in Section 3A.
Castlebay Lane Charter will also receive a categorical block grant of $270,078, which will be spent for instructional purposes for all students as described in section 3A: $98,912 for a class size reduction teacher for grades 4 and 5 to assure school keeps class size norms; $100,435 for a
Page 41 of 42 Castlebay Lane Charter Elementary School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School - Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 coordinator who will work with parents, students, and teachers; $10,690 for a 5-hour teacher assistant; $8,500 for after school intervention; $6,500 for GATE testing; $9,420 for day to day subs (to release teachers for lesson study);and $35,000 set aside in IMA for textbooks, copier contract, and science lab materials. The monies above benefit students school wide.
Castlebay Lane Charter expects to receive $34,382 in charter allocations in lieu of EIA. This is dedicated LCFF funding based on the number and concentration of 140 unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners), enrolled in the school, which is 18% of the student population. The school will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above: $500 for instructional materials; $6,400 for a 3 hour teacher assistant to provide small group instruction; $4,200 for teacher release time for professional development and lesson planning; and $22,080 for a Limited Contract teacher who will provide intervention services to this targeted population. These monies specifically target students in foster care, English Learners, and from low-income families.
D. Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.
Castlebay Lane Charter will form a team, composed of the principal, the coordinator, and teachers, to meet to discuss the identification of students to receive services as provided in the LCAP and LCFF funding. The school will increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 154955 CCR 15495, for its 140 unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners) which are 18% of the student population by 4.43% above the services provided to all students. These identified students will be progress monitored and provided services through the learning center, from our Limited Contract teacher and teaching assistant throughout the instructional day. The principal and the coordinator will work with families of these students to assure parents receive vital school information and needed workshops are presented. In addition, the students will have staff mentors, including the teaching assistants. The progress of Castlebay Lane Charters 140 unduplicated students will be monitored by the new LCAP team. The school will meet this requirement by providing the services described in Section 3B above.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 39 Chandler Learning Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 29, 2014
be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 39 Chandler Learning Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 29, 2014
Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 39 Chandler Learning Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 29, 2014
education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to the increased amount of teacher assistant positions from three to five..
In response to student input, in addition to other considerations, the school also eliminated a proposed program to provide before-school tutoring in English language arts and math and instead kept the after-school intervention.
Page 5 of 39 Chandler Learning Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 29, 2014
plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special School Site Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and five parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 39 Chandler Learning Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 29, 2014
between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 41 Chatsworth Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 24, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP.

Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened three introductory informational meetings, two for parents and students, and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, the school leadership team also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Student Leadership members had two opportunities to review the As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for technology and attendance support
Teacher input led to the purchase of two CSR teachers (Science and ELA/ELD), full-time Title 1 Coordinator position, part-time TSP Advisor position, and a part-time micro computer tech to be tasked with the update, repair, and inform teacher of the present computer system.
In response to student input, in addition to other considerations, the school will continue on the present bell schedule (2X4) which provides for intervention between the bells as oppose to Saturday school which was sparsely attended. Students also eliminated lunch tutoring for freshmen as it too was sparsely attended.
Page 5 of 41 Chatsworth Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 24, 2014 proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and five parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 1, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and
Page 6 of 41 Chatsworth Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District on April 24, 2014 specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Susana Gomez-Judkins, Principal, sgomez11@lausd.net, 818-761-5115 LCAP Year: 2014 Colfax Charter Elementary (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.
Page 2 of 44 ColfaxCharter Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes: Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4)
Page 3 of 44 ColfaxCharter Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 44 ColfaxCharter Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March 2014 the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to increase in classroom aide support, library aide, and professional development.
In response to student input, additional resources were identified for restroom accessories such as floor mats and books for the library. Additional equipment for recess and lunch recess was also purchased.
Page 5 of 44 ColfaxCharter Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 members and five parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Virginia Ghoniem, Principal, vghoniem@lausd.net, 818 360-1824 LCAP Year: 2014 Darby Avenue Charter School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 42 Darby Avenue Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 28, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 42 Darby Avenue Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 28, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March 2014 the school convened two introductory informational meeting, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for technology and parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input assured that Darby would continue with the intervention that is provided with the Limited Contract Teacher and the additional support provided by the Instructional Aide. Teachers also felt a need for substitute time to provide an opportunity for each teacher to have a day to review data.
Teachers and parents also felt a need to have Teaching Assistant support to help the low-income students.
Page 5 of 42 Darby Avenue Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 28, 2014 plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special School Site Council Meeting, and the school's March ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Local School Leadership Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 42 Darby Avenue Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 28, 2014 between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Debra Hirsch, Principal, dwh0211@lausd.net], [(818) 349-4381] LCAP Year: 2014 Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy (A District-Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.
Page 2 of 42 Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP.

Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 42 Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March and April the school convened introductory informational meetings, for school staff and parents at our Council meetings to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting and our Council meetings. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and a few parents.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide support and resources for parent trainings to support and extend academic learning at home.
Since Dearborn just submitted our Single Plan for Student Achievement and our 2014-2015 budgets, many meetings were held with staff and parents to review data, survey priorities and get feedback in order to plan for the upcoming school years. Much of the information included in our LCAP is the result of the meetings we have held with staff, SSC, ELAC, Charter Governance and PTA.
The principal met with the Dearborn Student Council on April 25 to explain the LCAP and get input from students. The student council members expressed how important our school library is to them and were in complete agreement to use charter money to fund our part-time library aide. Other priority items were our Limited Contract Teachers for small group instruction, technology instruction, arts education and paraprofessionals in the classroom. The students value the off site and on site field
Page 5 of 42 Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] School leaders reviewed the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to School Charter Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
trips and assemblies they participate in. Charter funds are used to pay for some of these programs. Our staff and parent budget survey results guided our decisions on how to spend our charter funds. Based on the input we received, it was decided to maintain our part- time teacher assistant positions with Limited Contract teachers to support intervention and small group instruction. Technology, arts instruction, grade level projects and instructional materials as well as our copy machines were high priority items. In order to remain in compliance and to support our parents and targeted student populations, our part-time coordinator and parent community representative were funded.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 42 Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact Lea Moche Principal, lmoche@lausd.net (818) 784 - 6283 LCAP Year: 2014 Dixie Canyon Community Charter (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.
Page 2 of 48 Dixie Canyon Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with Dixie Canyon accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 48 Dixie Canyon Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop Dixie Canyon's LCAP, in March Dixie Canyon convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that Dixie Canyon would be aligning the LCAP to Dixie Canyon's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of Dixie Canyon's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, Dixie Canyon also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating Dixie Canyon's SPSA, Dixie Canyon leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a Governance Council meeting, and Dixie Canyon's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, Dixie Canyon received written comments from several staff members As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, Dixie Canyon will provide a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend learning at home in light of the new Common Core Standards.
Teacher input led to the continued allotment of funds for the teacher student afterschool intervention program.
In response to student input, they wanted to continue the science fair we have annually and to include an annual art gallery that includes all content areas like science, math, and language arts.
Page 5 of 48 Dixie Canyon Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] and three parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, Dixie Canyon leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to Dixie Canyons authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at Dixie Canyon site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from Dixie Canyon plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal.

For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 42 El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

(Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools.

Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 42 El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies' LCAP, several meetings were held in March and April. On March 17, 2014, at the Charter Governance Council and School Site Council Meeting, the requirement and purpose of the LCAP was presented to the councils by the principal. During the Open House on April 3, 2014, the LAUSD video presentation of LCFF and LCAP was presented to the entire school community. At a regular faculty and staff meetings in March, the above information was disseminated to the teachers and staff. To collect even more input, the information was also shared and discussed at the April PTA meeting on April 11, 2014. The overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP was presented at each meeting. At these meetings, the school principal also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the Principal also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, revisions were made to provide more support and resources for students through a part time PSA Counselor, additional School Psychologist time and adjustments to the after school academic intervention programs. The goal of these supports is to assist all students who are not yet proficient. Both student and parent input prompted to include purchases of school assemblies (non-instructional contracts)and field trips (science)aligned with the charter goals of enriched instruction in arts and science
Teacher input led to budgeting for professional development to be delivered on-site by outside vendors rather than budgeting for conference attendance. The intent is that the entire faculty will receive the training together and set the stage for successful school wide implementation. Additional substitute days were added to
Page 5 of 42 El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 2014 Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's March ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to verbal feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and five parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English since the population is below 15% in any language other than English. allow teachers to work collaboratively in implementing strategies such as math problems solving by co-teaching and observing one another.
There are 182 unduplicated students who are either English Learners, socio-economically disadvantaged or foster youth. The SST Coordinator, EL Coordinator, GATE Coordinator, Special Education teachers and the classroom teachers monitor the progress of students to provide appropriate interventions both in the classroom and in the learning center.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific
Page 6 of 42 El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 2014 metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Betsy Mayorga, Principal, elizabeth.mayorga@lausd.net, (818) 342-6353 LCAP Year: 2014 Emelita Academy Charter (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The
Page 2 of 1 Emelita Academy Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records.

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner
Page 4 of 1 Emelita Academy Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March through April the school convened several informational meetings, for parents and school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, target goals, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Based As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the SPSA and LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources to improve our parent involvement and provide trainings and information for parents to assist their children and increase their academic success.
Teacher input led to the increase of TAs, from two full-time to four full-time, to assist students in the classroom with intervention under the direct supervision of the classroom teacher.
Page 5 of 1 Emelita Academy Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 in part on stakeholder input provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA and the development of the LCAP, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fourth and fifth grade Leadership students were presented a review of the proposal and provided with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting through email to Governance members to gather additional stakeholder input.
School leaders then reviewed the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council and Governing Board for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 30, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish. In response to student input, after school intervention and in-school intervention programs were designed to use web based academic programs; iReady (provides ELA and math for grades 2-5), Reading Eggs (provides ELA for grades K-1) and Mathletics (provides math for grades K-1).
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or
Page 6 of 1 Emelita Academy Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update?

Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 40 Enadia Technology Enriched Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to 4/30/2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 40 Enadia Technology Enriched Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to 4/30/2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two Introductory informational meetings, one for all stakeholders at our regular scheduled Council Meeting on 3/11/14 and one for school staff on 3/26/14, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. The LCAP plan was also presented to the student council for their suggestions on 4/30/14.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of stakeholders in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Due to decreased funding, teacher input led to the replacement of a Limited Contract Intervention teacher with utilizing the TAs for small group intervention. Banked Tuesdays will be used to train the TAs to lead small group instruction during Universal Access Time.
In response to stakeholder input, regarding a dramatic decrease in funding, the school also decided to replace some of the after-school tutoring by having the targeted student population receive support in ELA through the CORE Waiver Extended Learning Summer Program.
Page 5 of 40 Enadia Technology Enriched Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to 4/30/2014 parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the draft proposal at a weekly staff meeting and a Council meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
School leaders gave opportunity for comments and input from staff and parents, and revised the LCAP. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 30, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish as needed.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from,
Page 6 of 40 Enadia Technology Enriched Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to 4/30/2014 school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact Neal Siegel, Principal, nsiegel@lausd.net, 818-313-7400 LCAP Year: 2014 Hale Charter Academy (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.
Page 2 of 43 Hale Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April, 29, 2014 For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 43 Hale Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April, 29, 2014 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, the following meetings were convened to review prospective 2014-2015 funding and expenditures for 75176 ($762), the schools general fund, the Charter School Categorical Block Grant and the special education allocations. The meetings provided an overview for LCFF, the eight state priorities, and LCAP requirements. This includes the process for local development and District approval.
March 13, 2014 - ELAC Committee March 18, 2014 - Budget Committee March 18, 2014 - All Staff Meeting March 20, 2014 - School Site Council & Hale Charter Council March 20, 2014 - Parent Information Meeting April 24, 2014 - School Site Council & Hale Charter Council April 24, 2014 - Parent Information Meeting
School leaders reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Hale Charter Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Hale Charter Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the stakeholder groups were in agreement with the Charter Council and SPSA priorities. These included:
Extra Personnel for Class Size Reduction Intensive Math & ELA Intervention Programs Allocations for Transportation and Admissions to Off-Campus Learning Experiences (field trips) Targeted Funds for Common Core P.D. Including Conferences and Workshops Purchased Resources to Support the Transition to Common Core Curriculum Leasing of Technology Equipment in an Effort to Provide STEAM Resources Additional Parent CCSS Informational Meetings

Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities?
Page 6 of 43 Hale Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April, 29, 2014 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Additionally Education Code section 52604 requires a listing and description of the expenditures required to implement the specific actions. Instructions: Identify annual actions to be performed to meet the goals described in Section 2, and describe expenditures to implement each action, and where these expenditures can be found in the LEAs budget. Actions may describe a group of services that are implemented to achieve identified goals. The actions and expenditures must reflect details within a goal for the specific subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, and for specific school sites as applicable. In describing the actions and expenditures that will serve low-income, English learner, and/or foster youth pupils as defined in Education Code section 42238.01, the LEA must identify whether supplemental and concentration funds are used in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner.

Describe the LEAs increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or school wide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the districts goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
Hale Charter Academy will receive a Charter Allocation in lieu of EIA (Program Fund 13724) for $129,171. This is dedicated LCFF funding based on the number and concentration of the 530 (28%) unduplicated students enrolled in the school. The school will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above and will be used schoolwide benefiting all students, particularly English Learners, foster youth, and students of low income. The 530 unduplicated students representing the three categories listed above are fully integrated into all programs at our school. They have full access to all instructional materials, interventions, and supports provided through these funds. Because our teachers plan curriculum and analyze data together, share best practices, and peer coach each other, these funds are used schoolwide in order to have all staff trained and be equally knowledgeable about current research based instructional practices which benefit all students, including English Learners, foster youth, and students of low income.

A District-Affiliated Charter School Los Angeles Unified School District July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2017
Page 1 of 42 Germain Charter Academy an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact : Sonia Ugarte Principal, smu1365@lausd.net,(818) 341-5821 LCAP Year: 2014 Germain Charter Academy (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 42 Germain Charter Academy an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 42 Germain Charter Academy an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 42 Germain Charter Academy an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP The Charter Governance Council reviewed a draft of the schools LCAP on April 24, 2014. The Council also reviewed the eight state priorities, glossary of LCAP-Related Terms, and list of on-line resources for further information and clarification. At this meeting, it was explained that the school is aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. The school data report (Data Summary Sheet) was provided and discussed relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the Governance Council proceeded to evaluate a draft of the proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and for review and comment. The principal and coordinator presented and discussed the proposal with the Governance Council, which also includes the School Site Council, in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home and understanding of the Common Core State Standards.
Teacher input led to the replacement of six teacher assistant positions with a multi-funded intervention coordinator position to be tasked with the design and implementation of a Primary and Upper Learning Center.
In response for more intervention outside of the regular school day, Saturday Academy was proposed to provide tutoring in English language arts.
Page 5 of 42 Germain Charter Academy an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 The Governance Council reviewed all of the comments and input, and the LCAP was revised in response to ideas and concerns raised. As a final step, the principal and coordinator presented the final proposal to the Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions:
Page 6 of 42 Germain Charter Academy an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be
Page 2 of 43 Granada Elementary Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/21/2014] consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 43 Granada Elementary Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/21/2014] Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 43 Granada Elementary Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/21/2014] education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in April 2014 the school convened an introductory informational meeting, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents at charter committee and parent group meetings. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to the continuance of four part-time teacher assistant positions with a part -time intervention support coordinator position to be tasked with the design and implementation of an intervention center. In response to the considerations discussed at the meetings mentioned above the school also eliminated the Instructional Coach position and instead established the addition the Intervention Support Coach.
The discussions also led to the addition of a part-time Psychiatric Social Worker and an additional day of the School Psychologist time allocated to better meet the
Page 5 of 43 Granada Elementary Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/21/2014] the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's April 2014 ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. There was feedback at the LCAP meeting in April as well as the Granada Leadership Council, SSC and ELAC meetings in April 2014. The Granada Leadership Team then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish. needs and challenges that impact our students socially and emotionally. Therefore, ultimately impacting their academic progress.
There was also the addition of a differential for a teacher on staff to receive a Teacher/Parent Activity Differential to assist in increasing parent involvement efforts due to the feedback received in student groups and parent stakeholder discussions.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the
Page 6 of 43 Granada Elementary Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/21/2014] school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Herman Clay, Principal, Herman.Clay@lausd.net, (818) 885-2300 LCAP Year: 2014 Grover Cleveland Charter High School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 45 Grover Cleveland Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 45 Grover Cleveland Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, the school incorporated a great deal of the planning and research completed for Clevelands WASC self-study conducted in March 2014. The school convened professional development sessions over the past eighteen months, involving parents, students, teachers, administrators and other staff members to discuss changes over the past six years, but with particular attention to the past three years since the school became an ESBMM school. All eight of the states priorities were addressed in the schools professional development leading up to the 2014 WASC accreditation visit, and in writing the most recent two-year Single Plan for Student Achievement.
The school aligned the LCAP to the school's charter as well as the WASC self-study and the recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identified many of the school's goals and plans to meet the students needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also used data report (Data Summary Sheet) that outlined data relevant to the states and districts priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the WASC self-study process, and by extension, the SPSA and LCAP development processes, the school wrote the LCAP to provide more support and resources for greater student proficiency, but with a special focus on the schools Long-Term English Learners; students in 9 th grade ELA classes; and students in Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2 classes.
Page 5 of 45 Grover Cleveland Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school writing team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter, WASC self-study and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. The school writing team also presented and discussed the proposal the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from numerous staff members, many of whose comments were incorporated into the WASC self-study.
The schools writing team (members of the WASC self-study writing team) then reviewed all of the comments, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school writing team presented the final proposal to the Cleveland Governance Council (CGC) for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The CGC approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 30, 2014.
NOTE: When appropriate, all parent meetings and materials were available in English and Spanish.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address
Page 6 of 45 Grover Cleveland Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Bette Kaplan Principal, bkaplan@lausd.net 818-348-4741 LCAP Year: 2014 Hamlin Charter Academy (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.
Page 2 of 47 Hamlin Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes: Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4)
Page 3 of 47 Hamlin Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 47 Hamlin Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, on April 1 and April 29, the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting and a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher and student input led to the addition of two part- time teacher assistant positions, continuation of a part- time intervention coordinator position and one additional part-time coordinator position to be tasked with intervention. Students will benefit from targeted intervention that helps identify and ameliorate specific language needs and develop reading skills across the curriculum. Intense and frequent intervention will be progress monitored and feedback and resources will be given to classroom teachers. Intervention services also serve as a filter to determine if some students might need further services with special education. Teachers will be supported with small group intervention strategies and teacher assistants will be trained to support individual needs. Hamlins English Language Learner population has more
Page 5 of 47 Hamlin Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
than doubled over the last two years. While CELDT scores reflect growth, we are challenged by this increased population which is also highly transient. Both the intervention Coordinators and the EL Coordinator provide E.L.L. strategies and feedback for teachers to support English Language Development. Additionally, a Library Aide will support literacy skills by providing resources, modeling reading skills, and maintaining the library.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from,
Page 6 of 47 Hamlin Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Barbara Meade - Principal, bmeade@lausd.net, 818-716-7310 LCAP Year: 2014 Haynes Charter for Enriched Studies
(A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 43 Haynes Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 43 Haynes Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 43 Haynes Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop Haynes Charters LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the Haynes leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to our charter and our SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Teachers lead Student Council students through a mediated review of the LCAP proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to a part-time intervention teacher position to be tasked with the design and implementation of an intervention center.
In response to student input, in addition to other considerations, the school extended the after-school Homework Club.
Page 5 of 43 Haynes Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, and a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and two parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 22, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from,
Page 6 of 43 Haynes Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.

Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 45 Justice Street Academy Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop Justice Street Academy Charters LCAP, the principal took several steps to communicate the purpose of the LCFF to the school community. On March 11, 2014, the principal presented introductory information about the LCFF during a PTA meeting. On March 18, 2014, the Governance/School Site Council provided an overview for all stakeholders teachers, parents, staff, and students and discussed priorities to meet the needs of the schools 114 foster children, English Learners, and low-income students. The schools Data Summary Sheet, CST, and AMAOs were reviewed at the beginning of the year and also during the budget meetings.
All stakeholders and parents of students in the subgroups were given the opportunity to participate and voice priorities for the spending of the money at PTA and Governance/School Site Council meetings. At the beginning of the year and throughout the year, results from the CST, CELDT, AMAOs, reclassification, attendance, and suspensions were discussed and analyzed by staff and Governance/School Site Council members. These priorities were discussed during the budget discussions during the staff meeting and Governance/School Site Council meeting on March 18, 2014. Also, stakeholders received informational email messages regarding the LCFF and LCAP and were encouraged to provide written input before our Governance/School Site Council meeting was held on April 29, 2014.
During these meetings, we also discussed the eight state priorities and other LCAP As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of Justices staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for intervention services to students as well as short-term targeted intervention for English Learners to assist them in the CELDT and increasing a level on their ELD portfolio, aimed at gaining proficiency, reclassifying, and reducing the number of Long Term English Learners (LTELs).
Teacher input led to a decision to allocate funds for additional teacher assistant positions along with a full- time intervention teacher position to be tasked with the design and implementation of an intervention center. The intervention teacher would also collaborate with the EL coordinator to review ELD portfolios and CELDT assessment data to provide targeted assistance on the annual CELDT. Teacher input also led to a decision to provide a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning and to create awareness of academic initiatives, Common Core State Standards, Gifted strategies, Kinder Readiness, and reinforcing concepts at home.
Page 5 of 45 Justice Street Academy Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Discussion about student data was also begun at the beginning of the year during staff and Justices Governance/School Site Council meetings.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, Justices staff then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at its April 29, 2014 Governance/School Site Council meeting in order to gather additional stakeholder input. Staff was given the LCAP to review and input was solicited. All parents, including parents/guardians of foster youth, English Learners, and coming from socio-economically disadvantaged youth were informed and invited to take place I the process. In addition to substantial oral feedback. The school received written comments from several staff members and parents.
On April 29, 2014, the Student Council Teacher Advisor and principal guided student representatives through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. Students input included increasing the arts instruction, building our technology inventory, and funding more field trips and assemblies.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance/School Site Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District
There are 114 unduplicated students identified as either foster children, English Learners, or from socio- economically disadvantaged families whose needs are met through the learning centers and additional intervention scheduled outside the regular school day. Academic progress for students in foster care and from low-socio- economic will be closely monitored by the intervention teacher and services provided in the learning center.
Page 6 of 45 Justice Street Academy Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions:

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Cecilia Salazar, Principal, chp1562@lausd.net, 818.363.9558 LCAP Year: 2014 Knollwood Preparatory Academy, an LAUSD District-Affiliated Charter School
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 43 Knollwood Preparatory Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records.

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,

Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In developing the LCAP for Knollwood Preparatory Academy, the principal took several steps to communicate the purpose of the LCFF to the school community. On March 20, 2014 the principal presented introductory information about the LCFF during our Governance/School Site Council Meetings to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. The schools Data Summary Sheet, CST, and AMAOs were reviewed at the beginning of the year and also during the budget meetings.
The Governance/School Site Council provided an overview for all stakeholders teachers, parents, and staff members on April 10, 2014 and discussed priorities to meet the needs of the schools foster children, English Learners and low-income students.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement Knollwoods staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for intervention services to students as well as short-term targeted intervention for English Learners to assist them in CELDT and increasing a level on their ELD portfolio, aimed at gaining proficiency, reclassifying, and reducing the number of Long Term English Learners (LTELs).
Teacher and parent input led to maintaining teacher assistant positions to assist with targeted, small group intervention in the class and the need of a Learning Center to implement Tier II Intervention for students not making adequate ELA and Math progress.
5 th Grade students expressed the need for playground equipment, technology, field trips, and more teacher assistant support.
Page 5 of 43 Knollwood Preparatory Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 All stakeholders and parents of students in the subgroups were given the opportunity to participate and voice priorities for the spending of the money at our School Site/Governance Council Meetings. In addition, the English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) met on March 20, 2014 to discuss priorities, especially to meet the needs of LTELs.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the schools SPSA, Knollwoods staff then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at its Governance/School Site Council, and ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. Staff was given the LCAP to review and input solicited. The principal also guided 5 th
grade students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan.
Comments and input from all Knollwood stakeholders were reviewed and reflected in the LCAP. The Governance/School Site Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 10, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address
Page 6 of 43 Knollwood Preparatory Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

C. Describe the LEAs increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or schoolwide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the districts goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
Knollwood expects to receive a total of $3,377,189 in funds for its students in the 2014-2015 school year. Of those funds, $2,097,296 is from the general fund, which includes salaries for: principal, teachers, plant manager, SAA office tech, Office Technician, building and grounds worker, day to day subs, itinerant arts teachers, itinerant nurse, itinerant school psychologist, temp personnel, clerical subs, maintenance and operations supplies, general supplies, and instructional materials. Those monies are spent schoolwide and are described in Section 3A. There is $76,004 for the cafeteria workers; $4,208 for the Mandated Cost-C Smith Schools; $234,734 in Special Ed Assistants; $171,491 in Special Education Transportation; $152,245 for Special Ed-Preschool Expansion; $101,697 for the Resource Specialist Teacher; and $21,030 for Campus Aides, which benefit all students, all described in Section 3A.
Knollwood will also receive a categorical block grant of $158,277, which will be spent for instructional purposes for all students as described in section 3A: $25,654 for Teacher Assistants; $98,954 for a Class Size Reduction Teacher for grades 4 and 5 to assure the school is able keep class size norms; $4,303 set aside in General Supplies (equipment); $1,000 set aside for Instructional Materials (Accelerated Reader); $200 set aside
Page 42 of 43 Knollwood Preparatory Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 for Advisory Committee Expenses; and $25,000 of those monies set aside for Contract Instructional Services (Toshiba). The monies above benefit all students schoolwide.
Some $63,622 in charter allocations in lieu of EIA is dedicated LCFF funding based on the number and concentration of the 143 (27%) unduplicated students enrolled in the school, described in section 3B. The school will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above: $450 for Instructional Material; $51,328 for Teacher Assistants to provide intervention services; $7,557 for an Instructional Aide 1 to provide intervention services; $1,000 in General Supplies for equipment; $1,514 in Clerical Overtime to help directly to the EL program; and $500 in custodial Overtime for services required as the direct result of intervention and program activities. These monies specifically target students in foster care, English Learners, and from low-income families.
D. Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.
Knollwood will form a team, composed of the principal, the instructional coach, and teachers, to meet to discuss the identification of students to receive services as provided in the LCAP and LCFF funding. The school will increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 154955 CCR 15495, for its 143 unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners, which are 27% of the student population, 10.27% above the services provided to all students. These identified students will be progress monitored and provided services through the learning center, from our instructional coach and teaching assistants throughout the instructional day. The principal and the instructional coach will work with families of these students to assure parents receive vital school information and needed workshops are presented. In addition, the students will have staff mentors, including the teaching assistants. The progress of Knollwoods 143 unduplicated students will be monitored by the new LCAP team. The school will meet this requirement by providing the services described in Section 3B above.

Page 1 of 43 Lockhurst Drive Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact Aleta Johnson, Principal, adj25722@lausd.net, 818.888.5280 LCAP Year: 2014 Lockhurst Drive Charter Elementary School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 43 Lockhurst Drive Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10)

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3.
Page 4 of 43 Lockhurst Drive Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop Lockhurst Drives LCAP, in March and April, the school convened two introductory informational meetings as part of our Site/Governance meetings, for parents and for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the Lockhurst's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of Lockhurst's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, Lockhurst also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, Lockhurst revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home as it related to the new Common Core State Standards.
Teacher input led to maintaining teacher assistant positions to assist with targeted, small group intervention in the class and the schools Tier II intervention program. Fifth grade students and members of the Lockhurst Student Council spoke to what was important to them. They identified additional athletic equipment and more choices during nutrition breaks as the issues that most
Page 5 of 43 Lockhurst Drive Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 Lockhurst's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
concerned them. Student Council will be involved in a Mothers Day flower campaign with proceeds going to Student Body to purchase additional equipment that the students can take ownership and pride in. Students are interested in increasing their academic performance and afterschool tutoring will become available with the use of LCAP funds to support this interest.
In addition to student input, parents also indicated an interest for additional instructional support, therefore the school will incorporate after-school tutoring to assist students in need in the areas of math and English Language Arts.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from,
Page 6 of 43 Lockhurst Drive Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Masha Gardner, Principal mrg3470@lausd.net 818-887-9700 LCAP Year: 2014 Pomelo Community Charter Elementary (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 43 Pomelo Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 43 Pomelo Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March and April the school convened two introductory informational meetings, for parents and school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Student Council members were given an overview of the proposal and provided an opportunity to give input. School leadership also presented and As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to maintaining teacher assistant positions with part time limited contract intervention position.
In response to student input, the school will incorporate after school tutoring to assist students in the areas of language arts and math.
Page 5 of 43 Pomelo Community Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting and at a parent meeting.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership(Governance Council) for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 22, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 40 Riverside Drive Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 40 Riverside Drive Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop Riverside Drive Charter's LCAP, in March 2014 Riverside Drive Charter convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that Riverside Drive Charter would be aligning the LCAP to Riverside Drive Charters charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of Riverside Drive Charter's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, Riverside Drive also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating Riverside Drive Charter's SPSA, Riverside Drive Charters leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, Riverside Drive Charter will provide a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend learning at home in light of the new Common Core Standards.
Page 5 of 40 Riverside Drive Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting and a Governance Council meeting, and Riverside Drive Charters PFRD meeting in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, Riverside Drive Charter leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 16, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the
Page 6 of 40 Riverside Drive Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 56 Millikan Affiliated Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 28, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 56 Millikan Affiliated Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 28, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and students (3/19) and one for school staff (3/18), to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet), School-To-Watch Re-designation application and Performance Meter that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement and also help align goals relevant to the data.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to continue school staffing as it currently exists for all areas certificated and classified - for the up-coming school year.
The AGC-SSC recommended that Millikan will continue to frame their banked Tuesday professional development in 2014-2015 around the District priorities using a Plan- Deliver-Reflect-Revise model or Cycle of Inquiry and/or problem-solving process to improve outcomes for all students. The Common Core State Standards will continue to be the focus for the upcoming school year. The analysis of student data and work samples is used as the anchor
Page 5 of 56 Millikan Affiliated Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 28, 2014 parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Affiliated Governance Council-School Site Council (AGC-SSC) (3/20) meeting, and the school's ELAC (3/27) meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. The unapproved final draft was presented at a second meeting for parents and students on 4/23 for final discussion and input.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the AGC-SSC (4/24) for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish. Required time notice for AGC-SSC agendas were complied with. for building professional practice. In addition, the school may expand its Charter based committees into Professional Learning Environments and Visionary Action Committees as outlets to pursue other avenues academic improvements and growth.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 56 Millikan Affiliated Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 28, 2014 between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted?

Access to Broad Course of Study: The school needs to provide a sufficiently broad course of study to all students in order to prepare them for college and career in the 21 st Century, as reflected in applicable law and the charter.
The school will conduct an annual review of its master schedule, student schedules, and other information to measure progress towards and achievement of this goal.
The School Experience Survey by teachers indicates a need to expand technology as part of the regular instructional day and through electives to their job well (59%). The school will offer a broad course of study to at least 90% of its students every year. With the implementation of CCSS, articulation between departments has become more structured, frequent and goals oriented. There is a huge emphasis in writing across the curriculum and English teachers developed the standard 5-paragraph essay rubric for teachers across the disciplines to follow. Currently the English teachers have an even greater role in the curriculum in other classes. They are the driving force behind the implementation of CCSS for science, history and technical arts.

Other Student Outcomes: Because of the instructional shift in Language Arts, teachers requested frequent and authentic student data. At the beginning of the school year, students were assessed in their reading skills using diagnostic assessments, and a grammar test was administered to determine their levels. Teachers will use this student data to guide their instruction and share these results with other teachers so that appropriate texts are utilize in the content area. Last year the English teachers agreed to implement a writing portfolio for all students. The portfolio will serve as a tool for informing instruction and to measure progress over the three-year span Our faculty and staff incorporate multiple systems to address the needs of our underperforming students. Our counselors meet with students every five weeks to address low grades, home issues, or social emotional issues. Both during school and after school interventions are provided to at-risk students. Our school currently has 4 intervention electives offered during the course of the day. Our teachers also view their rosters and their students academic progress using MyData.

Section 3: Actions, Services, and Expenditures For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require the LCAP to include a description of the specific actions an LEA will take to meet the goals identified. Additionally Education Code section 52604 requires a listing and description of the expenditures required to implement the specific actions. Instructions: Identify annual actions to be performed to meet the goals described in Section 2, and describe expenditures to implement each action, and where these expenditures can be found in the LEAs budget. Actions may describe a group of services that are implemented to achieve identified goals. The actions and expenditures must reflect details within a goal for the specific subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, and for specific school sites as applicable. In describing the actions and expenditures that will serve low-income, English learner, and/or foster youth pupils as defined in Education Code section 42238.01, the LEA must identify whether supplemental and concentration funds are used in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner. In the annual update, the LEA must describe any changes to actions as a result of a review of progress. The LEA must reference all fund sources used to support actions and services.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by
Page 2 of 42 Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 42 Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School Leadership also guided fifth grade students through a mediated review of the guiding questions in the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home with the Common Core State Standards.
Teacher input led to the replacement of one teacher assistant position with a full-time Advisor position and additional school psychologist time to assist with the intervention referrals and program support.
In response to student input, we will continue to refine and develop our school focus in technology, and support student desire to use the tools of the future in their classrooms today.
Page 5 of 42 Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 two parent meetings, a School Governing Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Governing Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school

Page 1 of 48 Superior Street Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 28, 2014] 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified School District Contact: [Jerilyn Schubert], Principal, [jhs0671@lausd.net], [818-349-1410] LCAP Year: 2014 Superior Street Elementary School
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.
Page 2 of 48 Superior Street Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 28, 2014] For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes: Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4)
Page 3 of 48 Superior Street Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 28, 2014] Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 48 Superior Street Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 28, 2014] 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March and April the school convened introductory informational meetings for parents and school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Student Council was presented the LCAP proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Superior Leadership Council meeting, and the April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school reviewed and approved the current LCAP presented. SLC member questioned impact on LCAP and the current approved budget for 2014-15.
Teacher input agreed to the current LCAP presented.
Page 5 of 48 Superior Street Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 28, 2014] School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Superior Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
NOTE: Translation was provided in Spanish at the ELAC Meeting.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact : Temika Miko Dixon, Principal, tdixon1@lausd.net, (818) 886-2266 LCAP Year: 2014 Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 41 Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 41 Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 41 Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop Topekas LCAP, the school convened three introductory informational meetings. The PTA meeting on March 18, 2014, the Governance Council meeting on March 20, 2014, and the ELAC meeting on March 25, 2014, provided an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, the school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of Topeka's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school leadership also presented the 2012-2013 Data Summary Sheet that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to the purchasing of five full-time teacher assistant positions for grades K-5 and a full-time intervention teacher position to be tasked with the design and implementation of the Learning Center.
Page 5 of 41 Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at the staff meeting and at the PTA meeting on April 22, 2014, in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
The school leadership team then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership team presented the final proposal to the Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Governance Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 41 Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

C. Describe the LEAs increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or schoolwide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the districts goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies expects to receive $3,821,579 based on the number and concentration of unduplicated students enrolled in the school. Of those funds, $2,237,962 is from the general fund, which includes salaries for: principal, teachers, plant manager, SAA

Those monies are spent school wide and are described in Section 3A. There is $74,591 for the cafeteria workers; $5,929 for the Mandated Cost-C Smith Schools; $556,206 in Special Ed Assistants; $302,116 in Special Education Transportation; $204,040 for Special Ed-Preschool Expansion; $161,113 for Resource Specialist Teachers; and $21,030 for Campus Aides, which benefit all students, all described in Section 3A. Topeka Charter School will also receive a categorical block grant of $221,039, which will be spent for instructional purposes for all students as described in section 3A. The amount of $10,607 in Charter Schools Allocation in lieu of EIA is dedicated LCFF funding based on the number and concentration of the 207 unduplicated students enrolled in the school, described in section 3B. The school will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above.
D. Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.
Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies will increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 15495, for its 207 unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners), which are 38% of the student population, by 8.39%above the services provided to all students, by progress monitoring and providing services through the Learning Center throughout the instructional day. The progress of Topekas 207 unduplicated students will be monitored by the leadership team. Topeka Charter SAS will meet this requirement by providing the additional services described in Section 3B above.

Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.
Page 2 of 44 Van Gogh Charter School - an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30,2014 For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement is to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 44 Van Gogh Charter School - an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30,2014 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP Prior to developing the LCAP for Van Gogh Charter there were several steps that were taken to communicate the purpose of the LCFF/LCAP to the school community. On February 25, 2014 the LCFF/LCAP was introduced and discussed at our monthly Leadership Council meeting and our Staff Meeting. There was an additional informational parent meeting held on March 14, 2014. In order to develop the school's LCAP, the school staff revisited the Single Plan for Student Achievement Evaluation that was completed in January. The Needs Assessment that took place amongst all stakeholders for the Budget for 2014-2015 was reviewed to help to develop Van Goghs LCAP. An overview of the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP were also discussed. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented Van Goghs Data Summary Sheet that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding Attendance, Suspension, EL progress on CELDT, CST, and Reclassification, all students and subgroups CST performance in English and Math, and Parent and Community Engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of Van Goghs staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for intervention services to students as well as short-term targeted intervention for English learners to assist them on the CELDT and increasing a level on their ELD portfolio, aimed at gaining proficiency, reclassifying, and reducing the number of Long Term English Learners (LTELs).
Student Council members expressed the need for more access to technology. Students would like to increase their time in the Computer Lab to once a week instead of every other week. Students also expressed the need to increase their access to the library for supplemental reading and research. Students expressed a need for more physical education equipment.
Teachers confirmed Van Goghs budgeting of an additional teacher that would work with targeted students in 4 th and 5 th grade that require intervention and extra support during Core Curriculum of English, Math, and ELD. In addition this would offset the high number of students in
Page 5 of 44 Van Gogh Charter School - an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30,2014 LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special parent meeting, and the Local School Leadership Council meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input and feedback.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 29, 2014.
4 th and 5 th grade classrooms. The teacher would also provide additional support to targeted students Kindergarten through 3 rd grade in the afternoon. A stipend for a classroom teacher was budgeted to work 2 additional hours outside of the regular school day and to attend monthly English Learner meetings at the local district. This would enable the teacher to assume the role of the coordinator of the Van Goghs English Learner Program, assuring compliance and providing Professional Development to teachers that addresses effective instruction in English Language Development for our ELs.
A Limited Contract Teacher was purchased for 2 days a week to provide support for our Targeted Student Population. Money has also been dedicated for teachers of English Learners for additional time to review ELD portfolios and CELDT assessment data to plan and implement targeted instruction that will increase proficiency on the 2014 CELDT assessment.
At Van Gogh there are 117 unduplicated students identified as either foster children, English Learners, or from socio-economically disadvantaged families. These students academic progress will be closely monitored by the Principal, the Intervention Teacher, the Regular Classroom Teacher, the English Learner Coordinator, and the Limited Contract Teacher.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for these students and their families.

Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities?
Page 7 of 44 Van Gogh Charter School - an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30,2014 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 43 Welby Way Charter and Magnet Center Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, Welby Way convened two introductory informational meetings as part of our Site/Governance meeting agendas on October 15, 2013 and February 18, 2014. The principal presented introductory information about the LCFF and the LCAP at these meetings. Meeting notification and information was sent via the schools newsletter and email system. Staff was provided information during staff meetings also on those dates. Student achievement data, school goals, and budget priorities were discussed on January 21, February 18, March 18, and April 29, 2014. An overview of the LCFF and the eight state priorities and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP were reviewed as well. It was also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together identify our school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. All data, including data for English Learner reclassification, was shared with all stakeholders during the annual SPSA review. As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process as well as the SPSA and annual budget development process, Welby Ways LCAP includes plans to provide more support for students and differentiating for the needs of the students. Therefore, ten teacher assistant positions to assist with targeted, small group intervention in the class and the schools Tier II intervention program will be available.
Parents indicated a concern for providing 21 st century technology (hardware and software) and computer instruction to prepare our students for the College and Career Ready CCSS anchor standards and the Standards for Technological Literacy and the National Educational Technology Standards. Therefore, resources will be utilized to update our hardware and increase access for all our students with the use of technology. Students will be provided access to more computers in the classroom and

In addition, the School Board Member held a local Town Hall meeting to discuss specifics of the LCFF and LCAP on January 29, 2014. All our parents received information via email and phone.
Based in part on stakeholder input provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, budget, and LCAP, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Student Council/Governance members were given an overview of the proposal and provided an opportunity to give input. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting and a parent meeting on April 28, 2014.
The LCAP, in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents, represents our needs and goals. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Site/Governance Council members approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
computer instruction. Resources will also be utilized for teacher development for technology standards and use.
In response to student input, in addition to other considerations, the school will incorporate after-school tutoring to assist students in need in the areas of math and English Language Arts.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer
Page 6 of 43 Welby Way Charter and Magnet Center Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

C. Describe the LEAs increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, school wide, countywide, or charter wide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or school wide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the districts goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
In addition, Welby expects to receive a total of $4,291,123 in funds for its students in the 2014-2015 school year. Of these funds, $3,685,239, is from the general fund, which includes salaries for: principal, teachers, plant manager, SAA office tech, building and grounds worker, day to day subs, itinerant arts teacher, itinerant nurse, itinerant nurse, itinerant school psychologist, temp personnel, clerical subs, maintenance and operations supplies, general supplies, and instructional materials. Those monies are spent school wide and are described in Section 3A. $2,168 for the Mandated Cost-C Smith Schools; $148,500 in Special ed assistants; $99,698 for resource specialist teacher; and $21,030 for campus aides, which benefit all students, all described in Section 3A.
Welby Way will also receive a categorical block grant of $309,103, which will be spent for instructional purposes for all students as described in Section CA including the following: for teaching assistants; instructional materials; consumable textbooks, additional counseling time, TPA, staff training, staff training rate, coordinator differential, clerical and custodial overtime, maintenance and general supplies, contract instructional services, tutor teacher x time, day to day substitutes, staff conference attendance, additional itinerant psychologist, PSA counselor. The monies above will benefit all students school wide.
The school expects to receive $25,385 based on the number and concentration of 123 unduplicated students enrolled in the school. The school will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above and will be used school wide benefiting all students, particularly English Learners, foster youth, and students of low income. The 123 unduplicated students representing the three categories listed above are fully integrated into all programs at our school. They have full access to all instructional materials, interventions, and supports provided through these funds. Because our teachers plan curriculum and analyze data together, share best practices, and peer coach each other, these funds are used school wide in order to have all staff trained and be equally knowledgeable about current research based instructional practices which benefits all students, including English Learners, foster youth, and students of low income.

D. Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.
The Leadership team at Welby Way will meet to discuss the identification of students to receive services as provided in the LCAP and LCFF funding. The school will increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 154955 CCR 15495, for its 123 unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners, which are 15% of the student population, by 3.65% above the services provided to all students. These identified students will be progress monitored and provided services through the learning center, from EL Coordinator, and the students teacher, and the Teachers Assistants throughout the instructional day. We will work with families of these students to assure parents receive vital school information and needed workshops are presented. In addition the students will have staff mentors. The progress of Welby Ways 123 unduplicated students will be monitored by the new Leadership Team and the School Site/Governance Council. The school will meet this requirement by providing the services described in Section B above.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.

Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 45 Woodlake Elementary Community Charter School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In developing the LCAP for Woodlake Elementary Community Charter, the principal took several steps to communicate the purpose of LCFF to the school community. On Feb. 6, 2014, the principal presented introductory information about the LCFF during a meeting of the PTSA attended by parents and staff members. LCFF information was also disseminated via the schools March newsletter, which goes to all stakeholders. The Governance/School Site Council provided an overview for all stakeholdersteachers, parents, and staff members on March 6, 2014 and discussed priorities to meet the needs of the schools 143 foster children, English Learners and low-income students. The schools Data Summary Sheet, CST, AMAOs were reviewed at the beginning of the year and also during the budget meetings.
All stakeholders and parents of students in the subgroups were given the opportunity to participate and voice priorities for the spending of the money at PTSA and Governance Council meetings. At the beginning and throughout the year, results from the CST, CELDT data, AMAOs, reclassification, attendance and suspensions were discussed and analyzed by staff and Governance Council members. These priorities were discussed during the budget discussions during staff meetings on March 16, 2014 and also the Governance Council on March 18, 2014. In addition, the English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) met on March 16, 2014 to discuss priorities, especially to meet the needs of LTELs.
During these meetings, we also discussed the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of Woodlakes staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for intervention services to students as well as short-term targeted intervention for English learners to assist them in the CELDT and increasing a level on their ELD portfolio, aimed at gaining proficiency, reclassifying, and reducing the number of Long Term English Learners (LTELs).
Student Council members expressed the need for library services and library books, as well as playground and physical education equipment, which can be purchased through IMA.
Teacher input led to a decision to set aside money to possibly hire a class size reduction teacher (and four days of substitute coverage). A CSR teacher would be hired to assure classrooms in grades 4 and 5 met the district norm. Teachers also wanted to maintain an intervention teacher position and paraprofessionals to be tasked with the design and implementation of a primary and upper grade center. The intervention teacher also acts as the
Page 5 of 45 Woodlake Elementary Community Charter School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identified many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. During discussions of student achievement to guide the schools budget expenditures, stakeholders viewed the schools Data Summary Sheet. The Data Summary Sheet provides information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Discussion about student data was also begun at the beginning of the year during staff and Woodlakes Governance/School Site Council meetings.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, Woodlakes staff then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at its April 23, 2014 Governance/School Site Council, and ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. Staff was given the LCAP to review and input solicited. All parents, including parents/guardians of foster youth, English Learners, and coming from socio-economically disadvantaged youth were informed and invited to take place in the process. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and parents.
Student council members discussed needs for the school during a meeting April 22, 2014 and mentioned ongoing maintenance of the school, a library aide, library books, and physical education equipment.
Comments and input from all Woodlake stakeholders were reviewed and reflected in the LCAP. The Governance/School Site Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.

Page 6 of 45 Woodlake Elementary Community Charter School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)?
Page 7 of 45 Woodlake Elementary Community Charter School -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Additionally Education Code section 52604 requires a listing and description of the expenditures required to implement the specific actions. Instructions: Identify annual actions to be performed to meet the goals described in Section 2, and describe expenditures to implement each action, and where these expenditures can be found in the LEAs budget. Actions may describe a group of services that are implemented to achieve identified goals. The actions and expenditures must reflect details within a goal for the specific subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, and for specific school sites as applicable. In describing the actions and expenditures that will serve low-income, English learner, and/or foster youth pupils as defined in Education Code section 42238.01, the LEA must identify whether supplemental and concentration funds are used in a district wide, school wide, countywide, or charter wide manner. In the annual update, the LEA must describe any changes to actions as a result of a review of progress. The LEA must reference all fund sources used to support actions and services.

For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.

Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In developing the LCAP for Calabash Charter Academy, the principal took several steps to communicate the purpose of LCFF to the school community. On March 19, 2014, the principal presented introductory information about the LCFF during a meeting of the Governance Council attended by parents and staff members. LCFF information was also disseminated via the schools March newsletter, which goes to all stakeholders. The Governance/School Site Council provided an overview for all stakeholdersteachers, parents, and staff members on March 19, 2014 and April 24, 2014 and discussed priorities to meet the needs of the schools 78 foster children, English Learners and low-income students. The schools Data Summary Sheet, CST, AMAOs were reviewed at the beginning of the year and also during the budget meetings.
All stakeholders and parents of students in the subgroups were given the opportunity to participate and voice priorities for the spending of the money at PTA and Governance Council meetings. At the beginning and throughout the year, results from the CST, CELDT data, AMAOs, reclassification, attendance and suspensions were discussed and analyzed by staff and Governance Council members. These priorities were discussed during the budget discussions during staff meetings on March 18, 2014 and also the Governance Council on March 19, 2014 to discuss priorities, especially to meet the needs of LTELs. Student Council members met on April 1, 2014 to give their input on the needs of the school. During these meetings, we also discussed the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of Calabashs staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for intervention services to students as well as short-term targeted intervention for English learners to assist them in the CELDT and increasing a level on their ELD portfolio, aimed at gaining proficiency, reclassifying, and reducing the number of Long Term English Learners (LTELs).
Parents and teachers input led to the continuation of 6 part-time teacher assistant positions to support the EL students in meeting benchmark in ELA, math, and ELD. It was suggested to continue to fund the EL Coordinator stipend of the English Learners program, assuring compliance and additional instruction in English Language Development for our ELs, especially our Long-Term English Learners.
Page 5 of 41 Calabash Charter Academy -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identified many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. During discussions of student achievement to guide the schools budget expenditures, stakeholders viewed the schools Data Summary Sheet. The Data Summary Sheet provides information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Discussion about student data was also begun at the beginning of the year during staff and Governance/School Site Council meetings.
Student council members discussed needs for the school during a meeting April 1, 2014 and mentioned ongoing maintenance of the school, a library aide, library books, and physical education equipment.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, staff then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at its April 24, 2014 Governance/School Site Council in order to gather additional stakeholder input. Staff was given the LCAP to review and input solicited. All parents, including parents/guardians of foster youth, English Learners, and coming from socio-economically disadvantaged youth were informed and invited to take place in the process. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and parents.
Comments and input from all stakeholders were reviewed and reflected in the LCAP. The Governance/School Site Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
Teacher input led to continuation of assure classrooms in grades 4 and 5 met the district norm. Teachers also wanted to maintain an intervention teacher position and paraprofessionals to be tasked with the design and implementation of a primary and upper grade center. The intervention teacher also acts as the Money has been dedicated for additional assistance for to review ELD portfolios and CELDT assessment data to provide targeted assistance on the 2014 CELDT assessment
Student Council members expressed the need for library services and library books, as well as playground and physical education equipment, which can be purchased through IMA.
There are 78 unduplicated students identified as either foster children, English Learners, or from socio- economically disadvantaged families whose needs are met through the learning centers and additional intervention scheduled outside the regular school day. Academic progress for students in foster care and from low-socio- economic will be closely monitored by the intervention teacher and services provided in the learning center.

Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal.

Calabash will form a team, composed of the principal, intervention teacher, and community rep, to meet to discuss the identification of students to receive services as provided in the LCAP and LCFF funding. The school will increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 154955 CCR 15495, for its 78 unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners, which are 18% of the student population) by 4.58% above the services provided to all student. These identified students will be progress monitored and provided services through the learning center, from our intervention teacher, who works as a day-to-day substitute teacher, and teaching assistants throughout the instructional day. Our EL Coordinator and Principal will work with families of these students to assure parents receive vital school information and needed workshops are presented. In addition, the students will have staff mentors, including the teaching assistants. The progress of Calabashs 78 unduplicated students will be monitored by the new LCAP team. The school will meet this requirement by providing the services described in Section 3B above.

Page 1 of 42 Calvert Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District, April 30, 2014 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Kirk Nascimento, Principal, ksn9141@lausd.net; 818-347-2681 LCAP Year: 2014 Calvert Charter for Enriched Studies (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 42 Calvert Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District, April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable.

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 42 Calvert Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District, April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
On 4/22/14, Teacher input led to revision of plan to include multiple measures for data analysis. The Intervention Coordinator works with all students schoolwide not yet meeting benchmark, including English Learners and Socio- Disadvantaged Students. Money has been dedicated for a teacher to receive a stipend to coordinate the English Learners program, assuring compliance and additional instruction in English Language Development for our ELs, They will provide additional assistance and review ELD portfolios and CELDT assessment data to provide targeted assistance on the 2014 CELDT assessment.
Page 5 of 42 Calvert Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District, April 30, 2014 plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and five parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish. On 4/24/14, Student Council gave feedback regarding LCAP. Based upon feedback from Student Council, school will improve prizes for local attendance winners and continue to have announcements and acknowledge students achieving Superintendents goal. In addition, school will continue to ask Student Council for input when Committees are discussing student achievement/improvement. There are 145 unduplicated students identified as either foster children, English Learners, or from socio- economically disadvantaged families whose needs are met through the learning centers and additional intervention scheduled outside the regular school day. Academic progress for students in foster care and from low-socio- economic will be closely monitored by the intervention teacher and services provided in the learning center.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not
Page 6 of 42 Calvert Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District, April 30, 2014 applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In preparation for the development of the LCAP document for Encino Charter, parents and staff were notified of two important meetings regarding Local Control Funding and how our school would be accountable for any funding received. The LCAP was initially discussed at our Charter meeting on March 6, 2014, with additional discussion and approvals at the Charter meeting on April 10, 2014. During these meetings, parents and staff were provided an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that Encino Charter would be aligning the LCAP to Encino Charter's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of Encino Charter's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, Encino Charter also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating Encino Charter's SPSA, Encino Charter leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, and Encino Charter's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather After meeting with parents and staff to assess our schools priorities, some additions and revisions were made to the LCAP before its final presentation to the Charter Board. Limited Contract teacher/ coordinator position will be m funded through our charter block grants fund (13724). LCT will provide intervention services to support EL students in preparation for CELDT testing and will track progress toward reclassification of EL students.
Review of our ECast enrollment projections for next year indicated the need to purchase a class size reduction teacher for upper grades. This is an LAUSD requirement for Affiliated Charter schools. The necessity of using our Charter Block Grant to fund the CSR teacher was discussed at length at our monthly charter meeting and with our staff. The decision was made to reduce the number of Teaching Assistants hired to support small group instruction in classrooms, in order to have adequate funding for the CSR position. As of the 2013-14 school year Encino Charter has 149 unduplicated students identified as either foster children, English Learners, or socio-economically disadvantaged. The needs of these students will be met through having
Page 6 of 43 Encino Charter Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 additional stakeholder input. The feedback from parents and staff was noted in the minutes of the ELAC and Charter Governance Meetings. Student council discussed LCAP at its weekly meeting. Student input and understanding was limited.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, Encino Charter leadership presented the final proposal to the SSC/CLC board for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The SSC/CLC approved the submission of the proposed LCAP at a special meeting on April 24, 2014.
highly qualified teachers provide quality standards based instruction, providing a safe and healthy school environment and by providing targeted intervention as needed for academic and social support. .
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to Encino Charters authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at Encino Charter site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from Encino Charter plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and
Page 7 of 43 Encino Charter Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

(See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
Page 43 of 43 Encino Charter Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 Encino Charter expects to receive $40,165 based on the number and concentration of unduplicated students enrolled in Encino Charter. Encino Charter will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above, and will be used schoolwide benefitting all students, particularly English Learners, Low Income Students, and Foster Youth. The 149 students representing these categories are fully integrated into all programs at our school and have full access to all materials, interventions and supports provided by these funds. Our entire staff participates in curricular planning, data analysis and professional development trainings to benefit all students with particular attention being paid to the targeted subgroups listed above. As established in our charter document, our vision is to provide quality instruction for all students in a safe, caring environment. With a proven track record as a high performing school ( API over 900 for 4 years), we will continue to refine our current model to improve outcomes for all students schoolwide.
D. Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.
Encino Charter must increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 15495, for its unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners) by 6.37%above the services provided to all students. Encino Charter will meet this requirement by providing the additional services described in Section 3B above.

Page 1 of 37 Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): David Hirsch Principal, dhirsch@lausd.net, 818-528-7000 LCAP Year: 2014 HESBY OAKS LEADERSHIP CHARTER (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 37 Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 37 Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 37 Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March and April the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special parents meeting, and the school's April Governance As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to reflect the operations of our school.
Our budget does not allow for the implementation of any new programs or the hiring of any new personnel.
We use our Program 13723 (Charter School Categorical Block Grant) to cover areas that are not provided in our centralized LAUSD budget as well as keep money set aside in order to pay for a teacher if the need arrises.
Page 5 of 37 Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Council Meeting meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In discussions with our stakeholders we received some oral feedback.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 37 Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Jeff Gerson, Principal, jgerso1@lausd.net, (818)342-6148 LCAP Year: 2014 Nestle Avenue Charter School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 41 Nestle Ave. Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [4-30-2014] be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

(Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 41 Nestle Ave. Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [4-30-2014] education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in April the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template. Fifth grade teachers also guided their students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a Local School Leadership As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to the replacement of two part-time limited contract intervention specialist and EL coordinator positions with a full-time intervention/EL coordinator position .
Although the LCAP was reviewed in classrooms,5 th Grade students had no additional input on the LCAP.
Page 5 of 41 Nestle Ave. Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [4-30-2014] Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 41 Nestle Ave. Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [4-30-2014] between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact Theresa Wedaa, Principal, Theresa.wedaa@lausd.net LCAP Year: 2014 Serrania Avenue Charter for Enriched Studies, a LAUSD District-Affiliated Charter School
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.

Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In developing the LCAP for Serrania Avenue Charter for Enriched Studies, the principal took several steps to communicate the purpose of LCFF to the school community. On Feb. 18, 2014, the principal presented introductory information about the LCFF during a meeting of the Charter Committees attended by parents and staff members. LCFF information was also disseminated via the February and April parent meetings for FOS-Friends of Serrania and the schools April newsletter, which goes to all stakeholders. The Governing Board/School Site Council comprised of staff and parents, provided an overview for all stakeholders on March 26, 2014 and discussed priorities to meet the needs of the schools 189 foster children, English Learners and low-income students. The schools Data Summary Sheet, CST, AMAOs were reviewed at the beginning of the year and also during the budget meetings.
All stakeholders and parents of students in the subgroups were given the opportunity to participate and voice priorities for the spending of the money at Charter Committee, FOS(Friends of Serrania-PTO) and Governing Board meetings. At the beginning and throughout the year, results from the CST, CELDT data, AMAOs, reclassification, attendance and suspensions were discussed and analyzed by staff and Governing Board and ELAC members. These priorities were discussed during the budget discussions during staff meetings on March 11, 2014, Charter Committee meetings on March 11 and also the Governing Board Meeting on March 26, 2014. In addition, the English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) met on March 11, 2014 to discuss priorities, especially to meet the needs of LTELs. As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of Serranias staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for intervention services to students as well as short-term targeted intervention for English learners to assist them in the CELDT and increasing a level on their ELD portfolio, aimed at gaining proficiency, reclassifying, and reducing the number of Long Term English Learners (LTELs).
Student Council members expressed the need for library books, which can be purchased through IMA. Students also would like lunchtime and afterschool clubs, which can be funded for supplies through IMA and run by parent volunteers.
Teacher input led to a decision to set aside money to possibly hire a class size reduction teacher (and four days of substitute coverage). A CSR teacher would be hired to assure classrooms in grades 4 and 5 met the district norm. Teachers also wanted to maintain a limited contract intervention teacher position and paraprofessionals to be tasked with the design and implementation of an upper
Page 5 of 45 Serrania Avenue Charter for Enriched Studies -an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014
During these meetings, we also discussed the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identified many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. During discussions of student achievement to guide the schools budget expenditures, stakeholders viewed the schools Data Summary Sheet. The Data Summary Sheet provides information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Discussion about student data was also begun at the beginning of the year during staff and Serranias Governing Board/School Site Council meetings.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, Serranias staff then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at its April 30, 2014 Governance/School Site Council, and ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. Staff was given the LCAP to review and input solicited. All parents, including parents/guardians of foster youth, English Learners, and coming from socio-economically disadvantaged youth were informed and invited to take place in the process. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and parents.
Student council members discussed needs for the school during a meeting April 30, 2014 and mentioned library books, and school clubs.
Comments and input from all Serrania stakeholders were reviewed and reflected in the LCAP. The Governance/School Site Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 30, 2014.
grade learning-center. Teachers agreed to fund a Coordinator differential for the English Learners program, assuring compliance and additional instruction in English Language Development for our ELs, especially our Long- Term English Learners. Money has been dedicated for additional assistance for to review ELD portfolios and CELDT assessment data to provide targeted assistance on the 2014 CELDT assessment.
There are 189 unduplicated students identified as foster children, English Learners, and those socio-economically disadvantaged families whose needs are met through the learning centers and additional intervention scheduled outside the regular school day. Academic progress for students in foster care and from low-socio-economic will be closely monitored by the intervention teacher and services provided in the learning center.

Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be
Page 2 of 40 Taft Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 24, 2014 consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 40 Taft Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 24, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents through the auspices of our district school board member, and one for school staff and the SSC and Charter Councils, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school will provide additional counseling time for counselors to meet outside their contract day to meet with parents and students and prepare materials to assist student achievement in the targeted student populations. An additional counselor will also be purchased to create more time for individualized help to targeted students. There will be a TSP Program Advisor (.5) who will assist in the implementation of this plan. There will be a part time office technician who will assist in the implementation of the LCAP.
Teacher input led the further implementation of our Bilingual Teaching Assistant aiding our new ELD students both in their ELD studies in ELA and in Math. Also, PD Teacher Regular, Mileage, Professional Development , and Staff Conference Attendance will be provided so teachers may gain and refine Best practices to assist the
Page 5 of 40 Taft Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 24, 2014 special Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. The staff received oral comments that agreed with the proposed LCAP and expenditures to meet the needs of the new targeted student populations.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Charter Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish. targeted student populations.
In response to student input, in addition to other considerations, the school will be expanding its use of General Supply money to make sure that materials are properly created to help our at-risk student targeted populations.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the
Page 6 of 40 Taft Charter High School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 24, 2014 school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact Deborah Plat, Principal: dplat@lausd.net, 818-345-1090 LCAP Year: 2014 Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 47 Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

(Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 47 Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March and April 2014, Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics convened introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. On March 11, 2014 and April 1, 2014, the Principal presented information at the Charter Governance Council meetings for all members of the Council, along with interested parents who attended. The teachers were presented information at Staff Meetings on March 11, 2014, and April 8, 2014. The schools SSC and ELAC committees received information on April 21, 2014. Student Council, comprised of third, fourth and fifth grade students, received information regarding the LCAP at their weekly meeting on April 8, 2014. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school administration also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and Governance Council in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home. Common Core State Standards, Gifted Strategies, and Homework Strategies will be among the topics. Another area of revision will focus on an increase on parent/staff participation on the School Experience Survey. Student Council would like more teaching on homework strategies, in preparation for transition to middle school. In addition, the LCAP will provide more support and services to students as well as short term targeted intervention for English learners to assist them in achieving proficiency on the yearly CELDT assessment, and increasing a level on their ELD portfolio, aimed at gaining proficiency, re- classifying, and reducing the number of Long Term English Learners.
Page 5 of 47 Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment via e-mail to school staff, Governance Council and parents. A discussion was held with all stakeholders and staff, and comments were given regarding the schools LCAP Plan, especially on priorities to meets the needs of the schools 128 foster children, English learners and low-income students.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas offered by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance Council via e- mail for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 30, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish. Teacher input led to a decision to hire a class size reduction teacher to assure classes in grades 4 and 5 met the district/charter norms. An Intervention teacher (limited contract) will be hired to offer Intervention services for students who are foster children, English learners, low-income students, and other students who are not meeting grade level standards; these services will be during the school day. Paraprofessionals will be hired, under the supervision of a highly qualified teacher, to assist students in are in danger of not meeting grade level/CCSS, including students who are foster children, English learners, low-income students and other students at risk.
At Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics, there are 128 unduplicated students identified as either foster children, English learners, or from socio-economically disadvantaged. This LCAP will address how their needs are being met.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific
Page 6 of 47 Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Antoinette Brusca, Principal, axm2368@lausd.net, (818) 347-9220 LCAP Year: 2014 Woodland Hills Elementary Charter for Enriched Studies (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.
Page 2 of 50 Woodland Hills Elementary Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes: Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4)
Page 3 of 50 Woodland Hills Elementary Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 50 Woodland Hills Elementary Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In developing the LCAP for Woodland Hills Elementary Charter for Enriched Studies, the school communicated the purpose of LCFF to the school community in multiple ways. On March 26, 2014, information about the LCFF was presented at a meeting of the PATT Booster Club attended by parents and staff members. LCFF information was also disseminated via the schools March newsletter, which goes to all stakeholders. The LCFF was discussed with staff at Professional Development during Banked Time in April. LCFF and LCAP was presented to the Student Council and to parents, students and staff. These priorities were discussed during the budget discussions during staff meetings on March 4, 2014 and also the Governance Council on March 27, 2014. The school discussed the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identified many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. During discussions of student achievement to guide the schools budget expenditures, stakeholders viewed the schools Data Summary Sheet. The Data Summary Sheet provides information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Discussion about student data was analyzed at the beginning of the year during staff and Governance/School Site Council meetings. The school distributed invitations to a community meeting on the LCFF and the LCAP to As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff and parents in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources with a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home. Common Core State Standards, Gifted Strategies, and Homework Strategies would be among the topics. Another goal would be to increase parent and staff participation on the School Experience Survey. Another suggestion to increase parent participation was provided by parents and students which included a request for teachers to develop teacher web pages. The school will aim at gaining increased parent participation by establishing teacher web pages updated frequently to include assignments, topics/ concepts being taught, projects and due dates, student and parent events at school and off campus.
Teacher input led to a decision to set aside money to possibly hire a class size reduction teacher (and four days of substitute coverage). A CSR teacher would be hired to assure classrooms in grades 4 and 5 met the district norm.
Page 5 of 50 Woodland Hills Elementary Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 parents and staff as it was presented by our board member. An email with a link to an LCFF Presentation was sent to all parents and staff on March 9, 2014 and again on April 22, 2014, which included links to presentations explaining both the LCFF and the LCAP. The principal discussed the LCFF and LCAP with students on student council and the entire school community at the monthly assembly on March 28, 2014.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, our staff then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA. Our Governance Council/ School Site Council also reviewed, discussed, and approved the submission of the proposal at its April 24, 2014 meeting. All parents, including parents/guardians of foster youth, English Learners, and socio-economically disadvantaged youth were informed and encouraged to provide feedback. In addition to oral feedback from students, staff and parents, the school received written comments from a couple of parents. Some parents indicated they would think about it and send feedback at a later date.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas raised by staff and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish. Teachers indicated the need for paraprofessionals to assist with differentiation and small group instruction in both English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Additionally, the staff indicated the need for after-school tutoring for students in both English Language Arts and Math. Teacher stipends to act as a Coordinator for the English Learners program, assuring compliance and additional instruction in English Language, as well as the SBAC Testing Coordinator to ensure test security and protocols are followed and to analyze data.
There are 80 foster children, English Learners, or socio- economically disadvantaged families whose needs will be met by small group instruction during the day assisted by paraprofessionals and through additional intervention/tutoring scheduled outside the regular school day.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup
Page 6 of 50 Woodland Hills Elementary Charter for Enriched Studies (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may PLAINVIEW ACADEMIC CHARTER ACADEMY Page 2 of 41 Plainview Academic Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

(Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, PLAINVIEW ACADEMIC CHARTER ACADEMY Page 4 of 41 Plainview Academic Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP Our parents, staff, and other concerned stakeholders took sixteen months to write our charter petition. Once we became an affiliated charter, all stakeholders are regularly informed as to our schools progress and goals. This year we had to write a new Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Informational meetings were held for staff, parents and other stakeholders to present our data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. The SPSA template was presented, questions were asked, goals were set, and the plan & budget were written. Once the final draft was completed, it was presented to our English Learner Advisory Committee (E.L.A.C.), our staff, other stakeholders and voted upon by our Governance Council. In order to develop the school's LCAP in the short time given, our staff met to review the preliminary draft. The staff was provided an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. After that meeting, revisions were made and that draft was presented in a meeting to the parents. It was reviewed page by page, and revisions were made based upon parent recommendations. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the LCAP would As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent trainings in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
After the input from all the stakeholders from the LCAP process meeting, the following was decided to be purchased to continue efforts in providing the best resources for student achievement: Two full-time paraprofessionals, working under direct supervision of a highly qualified certificated personal, working with students in the Learning Center. In addition, six three hour Paraprofessionals to assist teachers with implementation of Common Core Curriculum.
PLAINVIEW ACADEMIC CHARTER ACADEMY Page 5 of 41 Plainview Academic Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] be aligned to our school's charter as well as to our recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. Since we had just completed and presented our 2014-2016 SPSA to our staff and parents, our stakeholders were familiar with our budget and goals for the 2014- 2016 school years. Stakeholders were made aware of the change in the state testing method and that C.S.T. was no longer in use. Although some of that data was reviewed to determine goals for our students. Also, the shift from California State Standards to Common Core Standards has been addressed in several meetings. All of our stakeholders are invited to Governance Council meetings and to E.L.A.C. meetings. All budgets and expenditures are discussed and voted upon by our Governance Council. Our students progress, academic goals, attendance and other topics are discussed at E.L.A.C. meetings.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and five parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and PLAINVIEW ACADEMIC CHARTER ACADEMY Page 6 of 41 Plainview Academic Charter Academy (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District [April 30, 2014] Spanish.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Norma Spencer, Principal, norma.spencer@lausd.net 213-746-1995 LCAP Year: 2014 Alexander Science Center School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 41 Alexander Science Center Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 41 Alexander Science Center Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 41 Alexander Science Center Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. The results of the Student Survey were reviewed, and upper grade teachers held a discussion with their students. Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for Class Size Reduction Teachers to allow teachers to work in smaller settings to differentiated instruction. The Instructional Specialist will provide support by working closely with staff and parents to target EL instruction, and supporting low income students with intervention strategies for targeted instruction.
Page 5 of 41 Alexander Science Center Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 staff meeting, School Site Council and Governance and Operations meeting, and the school's February ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received oral feedback from several staff members and parents.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the School Site Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval during the Budget Development and aligned to our recently revised Charter Petition. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Spanish as needed.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 41 Alexander Science Center Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4/30/2014 between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Joyce Dara, Principal, jdara@lausd.net, 310-454-7510 LCAP Year: 2014 Canyon Charter School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.

For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

(Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP?
Page 4 of 45 Canyon Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014
3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, Canyon School convened an introductory informational meeting in February 27, 2014 to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP, and an agreement of budgetary commitments. Parent and teacher surveys were disseminated and the community analyzed data. At these meetings, school leadership explained that the school is aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identifies many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid the discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA as well as parent and staff leadership and budget meetings, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and present the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership comprised of teachers and parents also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting and parent/teacher leadership meetings, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. Student surveys were included and data taken into consideration regarding items consisting of availability of extra learning supports, As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, students and parents in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide the necessary supports and resources to address student needs.
Teacher,student and parent input led to the funding of a school psychologist, a PSA counselor, a library aide, a CSR (class size reduction teacher) to reduce class size in 4 th
grade, a Science teacher, and 18 instructional aides.

safety, technology, testing, classroom and learning experiences and supports, and students overall experience at school. Principal held structured meetings with upper grade students several times, which also provided additional feedback on students school experiences regarding learning, safety and social emotional supports.
School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and feedback, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal for formal review on March 27, 2014 at Canyon Charters Governing Board monthly meeting for parents, guardians and teachers where it was reviewed and approved for submittal to the District for LAUSD Board of Education for consideration and approval. The Canyon Governing Board approved the finalized proposed LCAP on April 27, 2014.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment
Page 6 of 45 Canyon Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014
between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

C. Describe the LEAs increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or schoolwide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the districts goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
The school expects to receive $5,463.00 on the number and concentration of unduplicated students enrolled in the school. The school will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above. The 3724 allocation alone would not allow the school to support unduplicated students but by using carry over monies from previous allocations in 3724, Canyon is able to increase Psychological and PSA services for these students. Increase in PSA services will support the improvement of attendance. Additional Psychological services will assist students with developing positive social skills, problem-solving skills and provide parents with additional supports regarding educational concerns.
D. Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated
Page 45 of 45 Canyon Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014
pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.
The school must increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 15495, for its unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners) by 0.91% above the services provided to all students. The school will meet this requirement by providing the additional services described in Section 3B above.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 42 Community Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4-30-14 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

Page 4 of 42 Community Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4-30-14 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting, a special Local School Leadership Council meeting, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff and parents in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for a series of parent and teacher trainings and material to better support English Language Learners (ELLs) and low-income students. We will also provide more support for translating and interpreting documents for our ELL families.
Teacher input led to the addition of more professional development to meet the requirements of the Master Plan and the needs of both ELLs and low-income students.
Page 5 of 42 Community Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District 4-30-14 School leaders then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Local School Leadership Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 24, 2014.
NOTE: Korean interpretation was provided during parent meetings as needed.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal.

Page 1 of 46 Ralph Waldo Emerson Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Dimone Watson Principal, daw2423@lausd.net, (310) 234-3100 LCAP Year: 2014 Ralph Waldo Emerson Community Charter School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 46 Ralph Waldo Emerson Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 46 Ralph Waldo Emerson Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 46 Ralph Waldo Emerson Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP Currently, Emerson is in the process of applying to become an affiliated charter within LAUSD. In order to develop the school's LCAP, the school utilized data derived from the School Based Managements council and the charter writing committee. It was explained at these meetings that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. Data Summary Sheets of state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement were presented to staff and stakeholders.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents.
The LACAP is a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students on School Site Council, School Based Management, and the charter writing committee.

Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities?
Page 6 of 46 Ralph Waldo Emerson Community Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District May 5, 2014 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Moren, Principal; tlm6846@lausd.net; 310.472.5918 LCAP Year: 2014 Kenter Canyon Elementary Charter School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 57 Kenter Canyon Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014. be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10 . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 57 Kenter Canyon Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014. Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 57 Kenter Canyon Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014. education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened an introductory informational meeting for parents and staff to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, the Principal also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Grade 5 students were involved in a discussion regarding the Data Summary Sheet and its relevance to the goals established for LCAP.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the grade level chairpersons, school committees, and school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at As a direct result of comments and feedback received through staff and parents meetings in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for parent education seminars/workshops in ways to support and extend academic learning at home.
Teacher input led to a decision to afford two 3-hour library aides to be tasked with the design and implementation of our Library-Media-Intervention Center. Additionally, the EL Coordinator will be employed X-time periodically to insure proper implementation of EL needs by developing training and attending training opportunities.
A full-time Credentialed Teacher will be hired using parent donation funds to reduce the ratio of students to adults in grades 4-5. This position will allow more support to current and potential LTEL students as well as all students.
Page 5 of 57 Kenter Canyon Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014. staff meetings, Governance Council and School Site Council meetings in April in order to gather additional stakeholder input. The school does not have ELAC due to the low count of identified English Learners.
The Principal and English Learner Coordinators reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff and parents. In accordance with the Governance Structure set forth in Element 4 of the Charter and the requirements of the Brown Act, the school leadership posted the agenda for the April 22 Governance Council and School Site Council meetings at least 72 hours in advance of the April 22, 2014 meeting. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governance Council and School Site Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to ESC West for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 22, 2014.
The additional teacher will also be afforded 10 Day-to-Day Substitute Teachers to provide coverage when attending professional development or absences due to illness.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from,
Page 6 of 57 Kenter Canyon Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014. school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Emily Williams, Principal, erw3103@lasud.net , (310) 4544019 LCAP Year: 2014 Marquez Charter Elementary School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP.

Marquez Charter Elementary (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?

Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened informational meetings, for parents and school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together identify the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to satisfy needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a Data Summary Sheet.
Based in part on stakeholder input the school leadership team then created a draft proposal LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. Teachers guided students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them the opportunity to give input about the plan. School leadership presented and discussed the proposal at committee and Governing Board meetings. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from staff members and parents.
School leaders then reviewed all comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the school leadership presented the final proposal to the Governing Board for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for English Language Learners.
Teacher input led to purchasing seven part-time teacher assistants positions, and two full-time paraprofessionals to to better support small group, differentiated learning in the classroom.
In response to student input, in addition to other considerations, the school also proposed to provide after- school tutoring in English language arts and math twice a week.
Parent input led to purchasing four class-size reduction teachers and one specialist to teach the Science Technology Reading Engineering Art Mathematics, STREAM, class.

Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district- level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)?

Page 1 of 41 Open Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Antoinette Cass, Principal, arc3329@lausd.net, 310-568-0735 LCAP Year: 2014 Open Magnet Charter School (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 41 Open Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:

(Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 41 Open Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in April the school convened a Governing Council meeting to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At this meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identifies many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented the LAUSD School Report Card data regarding attendance, EL progress, achievement gap data, as well as academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. The school budgetary allocations were also reviewed during this meeting and proposed expenditures for the 2014-15 school year were approved.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of renewing our charter, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting. All stakeholders were in agreement with the LCAP for the 2014-15 school year. All stakeholders are in agreement with the LCAP proposal. A few questions were asked and answered to provide clarification of the proposal. This years LCAP does not deviate from our budgetary plan for the 2013-14 school year. All stakeholders are in agreement with our budgetary expenditures this year and are in agreement to continue the same expenditures for 2014-15.
Page 5 of 41 Open Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)?
Page 6 of 41 Open Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

C. Describe the LEAs increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or schoolwide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the districts goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
The school expects to receive $14,671 based on the number and concentration of unduplicated students enrolled in the school. The school will expend these funds as set forth in Section 3B above. A portion of these funds will be used in a school wide manner because ST Math is a program that is being used for our entire population of students. However, the instructional aide for English Learners, IMA for technology for low income students and the school psychologist for of a day will provide services for our unduplicated students as needed.
D. Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.
Page 41 of 41 Open Magnet Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 The school must increase or improve services, as defined in 5 CCR 15495, for its unduplicated students (low income students, foster youth, and English Learners) by 4.11% above the services provided to all students. The school will meet this requirement by providing the additional services described in Section 3B above.

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact : Joan Ingle, Principal, joan.ingle@lausd.net, 310-454-3700 LCAP Year: 2014 Palisades Elementary Charter School (A District-Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education- operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code.
Page 2 of 42 Palisades Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) B. Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 42 Palisades Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth,
Page 4 of 42 Palisades Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities? Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened two introductory informational meetings, one for parents and one for school staff, to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources in ways to support and extend academic learning at home by purchasing IXL additionally for English learners and Math.
Page 5 of 42 Palisades Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating the school's SPSA, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and reviewed the written draft with the school staff and parents. School leadership also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly staff meeting and the school's April SSC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to oral input, the school received comments from several staff members and five parents. Upper grade teachers led students in discussions to get their input. Schools faculty then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff and parents. As a final step, the schools principal presented the final proposal to the Governing Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 9, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English, Spanish and other languages that matches the parents home languages. Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also
Page 6 of 42 Palisades Charter Elementary School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally-identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052?

PECS further believes that learning is enhanced by a small student-teacher ratio. For kindergarten - third grades this is accomplished with the State class size reduction legislation. For the fourth and fifth grade classes, PECS allow for smaller class sizes with smaller learning pods. Small Learning Pods in grades 4 and 5 create an environment for the achievement of higher standards. Students in grades 4 & 5 are grouped into Small Learning Pods during certain periods each day to enrich their academic instruction in accordance with our commitment to enhance learning; PECS will continue to maintain this

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template. Introduction: LEA: Los Angeles Unified Contact: Fern Somoza, Principal email: fsomoza@lausd.net Telephone: 310-917-4800 LCAP Year: 2014 Paul Revere Charter Middle School & Magnet Center (A District-Affiliated Charter School)
Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 48 Paul Revere Charter Middle School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d). (Priority 1) Implementation of State Standards: implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the state board for all pupils, including English learners. (Priority 2) Course access: pupil enrollment in a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 7) Expelled pupils (for county offices of education only): coordination of instruction of expelled pupils pursuant to Education Code section 48926. (Priority 9) Foster youth (for county offices of education only): coordination of services, including working with the county child welfare agency to share information, responding to the needs of the juvenile court system, and ensuring transfer of health and education records. (Priority 10) . Pupil Outcomes:
Page 3 of 48 Paul Revere Charter Middle School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 Pupil achievement: performance on standardized tests, score on Academic Performance Index, share of pupils that are college and career ready, share of English learners that become English proficient, English learner reclassification rate, share of pupils that pass Advanced Placement exams with 3 or higher, share of pupils determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program. (Priority 4) Other pupil outcomes: pupil outcomes in the subject areas described in Education Code section 51210 and subdivisions (a) to (i), inclusive, of Education Code section 51220, as applicable. (Priority 8) C. Engagement: Parent involvement: efforts to seek parent input in decision making, promotion of parent participation in programs for unduplicated pupils and special need subgroups. (Priority 3) Pupil engagement: school attendance rates, chronic absenteeism rates, middle school dropout rates, high school dropout rates, high school graduations rates. (Priority 5) School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6) Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents. Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3. Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 48 Paul Revere Charter Middle School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, in March the school convened three introductory informational meetings, the Charter Council Meeting with all stakeholder representatives present, and the Faculty and Leadership Team Meetings to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP. At these meetings, the principal also explained that the school would align the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Presentation of 3-year Trends) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Students in the Leadership class were presented with information on student/parent involvement during their class. Students were participants in the School-wide Survey and their responses were reviewed and examined by the schools Leadership Team.
Based in part on stakeholder input already provided during the process of updating As a direct result of comments and feedback received through the involvement of staff, parents, and students in the LCAP development process, the school revised the LCAP to provide more support and resources for communicating with all parents/guardians at home through various technology and direct mail alternatives.
Teacher input led to the use of auxiliaries to reduce class size in all subject areas. The purchases of additional teaching positions to reduce class size, offer an extensive elective program for all students, and meet the mandate beyond TIIG requirements.
In response to student input, in addition to other considerations, the school provides additional communication systems and personnel to reach all households especially low-income families, EL students and families, and students located in Foster home situations.
Page 5 of 48 Paul Revere Charter Middle School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 the school's SPSA, the school governance team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter and the SPSA, on the required template and disseminated the written draft for review and comment by school staff and parents. The Student Council Teacher also guided her students through a mediated review of the proposal and provided them with the opportunity to give input about the plan. The principal also presented and discussed the proposal at a weekly administrative staff meeting, the PRIDE/PTSA Board Meeting on the second Monday of the month, and the school's April ELAC meeting, in order to gather additional stakeholder input. In addition to substantial oral feedback, the school received written comments from several staff members and verbal responses from parents on the Board.
The principal and administrative staff then reviewed all of the comments and input, and revised the LCAP in response to ideas and concerns raised by staff, students, and parents. As a final step, the principal presented the final proposal to the Charter Council for its review and approval to submit the proposed LCAP to the District for LAUSD Board of Education consideration and approval at a special meeting. The Council approved the submission of the proposed LCAP on April 28, 2014.
NOTE: All parent meetings and materials were conducted/provided in English and Other languages when necessary.
Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals. Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter schools budget that is submitted to the schools authorizer
Page 6 of 48 Paul Revere Charter Middle School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal. Guiding Questions: 1) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Conditions of Learning? 2) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Pupil Outcomes? 3) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address state priorities related to Engagement (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEAs goal(s) to address locally identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in-depth school level data analysis, etc.)? 6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEAs goals for all pupils? 7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP? 8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update? 9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs. Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code. The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may
Page 2 of 52 Topanga Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document. For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP. State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school. A. Conditions of Learning: Basic: degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned pursuant to Education Code section 44258.9, and fully credentialed in the subject areas and for the pupils they are teaching; pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials pursuant to Education Code section 60119; and school facilities are maintained in good repair pursuant to Education Code section 17002(d).

Guiding Questions: 1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents,
Page 4 of 52 Topanga Elementary Charter School (an LAUSD Affiliated Charter School) Local Control and Accountability Plan Submitted to District April 30, 2014 education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP? 2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEAs process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA through any of the LEAs engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state priorities?
Involvement Process Impact on LCAP In order to develop the school's LCAP, the school conducted a budget committee meeting and staff meeting in March as well as a Governing Board (Leadership Council) meeting in April. The purpose of each meeting was to provide an overview of the LCFF, the eight state priorities and other LCAP requirements, and the process for local development and District approval of the LCAP.
At these meetings, school leadership also explained that the school would be aligning the LCAP to the school's charter as well as its recently updated Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which together already identify many of the school's goals, needs and corresponding plans to meet those needs through various expenditures. To aid discussion, the school also presented a data report (Data Summary Sheet) that presented information relevant to the state priorities, including data regarding attendance, suspension, EL progress and reclassification, academic performance in English and math, and parent engagement. Teachers provided students with the LAUSD School Survey as well as held classroom discussions regarding students experiences at the school.
Based in part on input from the various meetings with stakeholders, the school leadership team then proceeded to draft a proposed LCAP, aligned to the charter As a result of examining data and gathering comments and feedback the Leadership Council approved the following revisions to the LCAP:
To provide support to various subgroups of students, the council voted implement an intervention program during the school day to provide differentiated instruction to meet the needs of at-risk students. In response to student data, teacher input led to the funding of two additional instructional aides to help lower the student to teacher ratio as well as to provide additional intervention support to at-risk students. Professional Development will be provided by a Coordinator to teachers of English Language Learners to ensure the effective instruction of English Language Development and to support
