Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template

Yosemite-Wawona Elementary Charter School is a new charter school that opened in August 2014 and is located in Wawona, the southern district of Yosemite
National Park. This new charter school is housed in the same building as the former Wawona School that was closed in 2010.
There has been a school in existence in this rural mountain community as a multiage, one-room school from the mid-1890s. Since that time, the oneroom school has served children of Wawona private property owners, Fish Camp and Yosemite West residents, and NPS and concessionaire employees. The
new charter school follows in the traditions that have been established through the years.
The foundation of the charter schools academic program includes a multiage classroom where students will work in large groups, small groups and
individually, an integrated curriculum, project-based learning, visual and performing arts, and a well-equipped technology center. The staff strives to go beyond
simply correlating the curriculum they work for integration of content across the subject areas. Students are encouraged to be active learners as they take risks,
imagine, investigate, question and create. The role of the adults in the learning environment is to assist children in finding their own unique gifts and talents by
challenging, remediating, accelerating, supporting and encouraging. Students, staff and parents are kept informed of students' progress through a variety of
assessment tools that are designed to enhance each student's ability to self-assess and adjust his/her own learning and guide the teacher in helping adjust the
student's individual curriculum.
One of the greatest strengths of this one-room school is the multiage situation where students and staff spend several years together, which truly creates
a sense of affection and respect for one another. Open communication between the adults and children create a comfortable atmosphere wherein learning
becomes enjoyable. The children flourish in this caring environment, and have both respect and affection for the adults in return.
Wawona School is a place where all students at different grade levels help each other and learn together. Each day is an opportunity for creative
discovery. The adults in the school constantly look for innovative ways to make each child's learning experience the best it can be!
Following is the charter schools Mission Statement:
To produce self-motivated, competent, life-long learners in a local community school who have a sound academic foundation, create quality work, are group
workers and problem solvers, show respect and consideration for others and choose the academic path to an enjoyable career as an adult.
With this mission statement as the guiding theme, the Yosemite-Wawona Elementary Charter School is currently developing its second Local Control
Accountability Plan (LCAP). This plan describes the charter schools efforts to improve student achievement and serve as a blueprint for reform that encompasses
curriculum, professional development, instruction, assessment and student and parent engagement.
Yosemite-Wawona Elementary Charter Schools goals include the following:
All students will be provided high quality instruction and learning opportunities that will prepare them for success in college and the workplace.
All students will be taught by highly qualified professionals in a clean, caring and secure environment.
All students will have access to quality intervention programs and enrichment activities with an emphasis on individualizing academic challenges for all.
All stakeholders will be engaged in the learning process by promoting opportunities that strengthen the skills, competencies and abilities of students,
parents, staff and community.
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. The LCAP and Annual Update Template must be completed by all LEAs each year.
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. Accordingly, in developing goals, specific actions, and expenditures, LEAs should
carefully consider how to reflect the services and related expenses for their basic instructional program in relationship to the state priorities. 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 shall comply with instructions and should 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. However, the narrative
response and goals and actions should demonstrate each guiding question was considered during the development of the plan. 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.

requirements for translation of documents.
Instructions: Describe the process used to consult with parents, pupils, school personnel, local bargaining units as applicable, and the
community and how this consultation contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEAs goals, actions, services and
expenditures related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2. In the annual update boxes,
describe the stakeholder involvement process for the review, and describe its impact on, the development of the annual update to LCAP goals,
actions, services, and expenditures.
Guiding Questions:
1) How have applicable stakeholders (e.g., parents and pupils, including parents of unduplicated pupils and unduplicated pupils identified
in Education Code section 42238.01; community members; local bargaining units; LEA personnel; county child welfare agencies; county

Impact on LCAP
The Yosemite-Wawona Elementary Charter School Local Control
Accountability Plan is used to guide decisions and practices
related to the needs of each student at the charter school.
The variety of involvement activities that occurred added to the
stakeholder engagement process of gathering information and
input on the priorities of the charter school, students, parents and
community. This information was integral to the development of
this years Local Control Accountability Plan.
Upon analyzing data collected from assessments, parent survey
feedback, as well as input gathered from meetings held
throughout the year, the four major goals from the 2014-15 LCAP
were reaffirmed and then supported with a variety of activities
designed to help the charter make progress towards the
achievement of these goals.
The voices of the parents, students, employees and community
are reflected throughout the goals, services and actions
embedded in this LCAP. This reflects the charter schools keen
desire to give all stakeholders the opportunity to have their voices
heard on behalf of all students.

Section 2: Goals, Actions, Expenditures, and Progress Indicators
Instructions:
All LEAs must complete the LCAP and Annual Update Template each year. The LCAP is a three-year plan for the upcoming school year and the
two years that follow. In this way, the program and goals contained in the LCAP align with the term of a school district and county office of
education budget and multiyear budget projections. The Annual Update section of the template reviews progress made for each stated goal in
the school year that is coming to a close, assesses the effectiveness of actions and services provided, and describes the changes made in the
LCAP for the next three years that are based on this review and assessment.
Charter schools may adjust the table 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.
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, to be achieved for each state priority as defined in 5 CCR 15495(i) and any local priorities; a description of the specific actions
an LEA will take to meet the identified goals; a description of the expenditures required to implement the specific actions; and an annual update
to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals.
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, schoolsite-level advisory groups, as applicable (e.g., schoolsite 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.
Using the following instructions and guiding questions, complete a goal table (see below) for each of the LEAs goals. Duplicate and expand
the fields as necessary.
Goal: Describe the goal:
When completing the goal tables, include goals for all pupils and specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils
with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the schoolsite level. 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 schoolsite.
Related State and/or Local Priorities: Identify the state and/or local priorities addressed by the goal by placing a check mark next to the
applicable priority or priorities. The LCAP must include goals that address each of the state priorities, as defined in 5 CCR 15495(i), and any
additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities.
Identified Need: Describe the need(s) identified by the LEA that this goal addresses, including a description of the supporting data used to
identify the need(s).
Schools: Identify the school sites to which the goal applies. LEAs may indicate all for all schools, specify an individual school or a subset of
schools, or specify grade spans (e.g., all high schools or grades K-5).
Applicable Pupil Subgroups: Identify the pupil subgroups as defined in Education Code section 52052 to which the goal applies, or indicate all
for all pupils.
Expected Annual Measurable Outcomes: For each LCAP year, identify and describe specific expected measurable outcomes for all pupils using,
at minimum, the applicable required metrics for the related state priorities. Where applicable, include descriptions of specific expected
measurable outcomes for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and at the schoolsite level.
The metrics used to describe the expected measurable outcomes may be quantitative or qualitative, although the goal tables must
address all required metrics for every state priority in each LCAP year. The required metrics are the specified measures and objectives
for each state priority as set forth in Education Code sections 52060(d) and 52066(d). For the pupil engagement priority metrics, LEAs
must calculate the rates specified in Education Code sections 52060(d)(5)(B), (C), (D) and (E) as described in the Local Control
Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template Appendix, sections (a) through (d).
Actions/Services: For each LCAP year, identify all annual actions to be performed and services provided to meet the described goal. Actions may
describe a group of services that are implemented to achieve the identified goal.
Scope of Service: Describe the scope of each action/service by identifying the school sites covered. LEAs may indicate all for all schools,
specify an individual school or a subset of schools, or specify grade spans (e.g., all high schools or grades K-5). If supplemental and concentration
funds are used to support the action/service, the LEA must identify if the scope of service is districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or
charterwide.
Pupils to be served within identified scope of service: For each action/service, identify the pupils to be served within the identified scope of
service. If the action to be performed or the service to be provided is for all pupils, place a check mark next to ALL.
For each action and/or service to be provided above what is being provided for all pupils, place a check mark next to the applicable
unduplicated pupil subgroup(s) and/or other pupil subgroup(s) that will benefit from the additional action, and/or will receive the
additional service. Identify, as applicable, additional actions and services for unduplicated pupil subgroup(s) as defined in Education
Code section 42238.01, pupils redesignated fluent English proficient, and/or pupils subgroup(s) as defined in Education Code section
52052.
Budgeted Expenditures: For each action/service, list and describe budgeted expenditures for each school year to implement these actions,
including where those expenditures can be found in the LEAs budget. The LEA must reference all fund sources for each proposed expenditure.
Expenditures must be classified using the California School Accounting Manual as required by Education Code sections 52061, 52067, and
47606.5.

Annual Update
Annual Update Instructions: For each goal in the prior year LCAP, review the progress toward the expected annual outcome(s) based on, at a
minimum, the required metrics pursuant to Education Code sections 52060 and 52066. The review must include an assessment of the
effectiveness of the specific actions. Describe any changes to the actions or goals the LEA will take as a result of the review and assessment. In
addition, review the applicability of each goal in the LCAP.
Guiding Questions:
1) How have the actions/services addressed the needs of all pupils and did the provisions of those services result in the desired outcomes?
2) How have the actions/services addressed the needs of all subgroups of pupils identified pursuant to Education Code section 52052,
including, but not limited to, English learners, low-income pupils, and foster youth; and did the provision of those actions/services result
in the desired outcomes?
3) How have the actions/services addressed the identified needs and goals of specific school sites and were these actions/services effective
in achieving the desired outcomes?
4) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was examined to review progress toward goals in the annual update?
5) What progress has been achieved toward the goal and expected measurable outcome(s)? How effective were the actions and services in
making progress toward the goal? What changes to goals, actions, services, and expenditures are being made in the LCAP as a result of
the review of progress and assessment of the effectiveness of the actions and services?
6) What differences are there between budgeted expenditures and estimated actual annual expenditures? What were the reasons for any
differences?

Section 3: Use of Supplemental and Concentration Grant funds and Proportionality
A. In the box below, identify the amount of 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 schoolsite 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 and any local priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)
Total amount of Supplemental and Concentration grant funds calculated:

$ (4524 cal.)_recvd. $4033________________________
As of the writing of the 2014-15 LCAP, there were no unduplicated students enrolled in the school. As of P2 reporting, there were 40% of
students identified as unduplicated, low income pupils. The services and activities listed in the LCAP were developed with input from students,
parents, community members, staff, and the Y-WECS Board. Needs were identified through surveys, community meetings, on-going student
assessment, and an analysis of the metrics required by the LCAP development process. All charter school goals are designed to close the
achievement gap for these targeted students, and given our small, total population of students, all students will benefit from these improved
learning opportunities. As a K-8th grade, multi-aged, self-contained classroom, the Yosemite- Wawona Elementary Charter Schools main
emphasis is on providing and creating individual learning plans for all students, as well as using various assessments throughout the year to
determine students strengths and weaknesses, which allows students to proceed through the curriculum at their own pace. The funds
generated by these students were used to purchase the Renaissance Learning software, which provides STAR testing and allows for
individualized instruction in reading and math. Funds were used to purchase hands-on, interactive, common core driven, activity notebooks in
the following subjects- K-3 sight words, K-8 Literature and Informative Reading, K-8 Math, 2-8 Writing, 4-8 Grammar, 4-8 Poetry, and 4-8
Research papers and essay writing. These activity notebooks were used to further individualize instruction, especially targeting high need pupils
and/or below grade level students. Funds were also used to compensate the certificated teacher for planning time, field trips, and extra teacher
conferences with these pupils and their families.
B. In the box below, 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).
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). 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.
10.71
The charter schools percent of increased or improved services for high need pupils in 2015-16 is 10.71%. For the 2015-16 school year, these
funds will be used to purchase software that individualizes student assessments and instruction, fund professional development for teaching
staff, partially fund an aide position, and fund various field trips throughout the year. All of these activities and services will directly benefit the
pupils that qualify for these additional funds.
LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN AND ANNUAL UPDATE APPENDIX

For the purposes of completing the LCAP in reference to the state priorities under Education Code sections 52060 and 52066, the
following shall apply:
(a) Chronic absenteeism rate shall be calculated as follows:
(1) The number of pupils with a primary, secondary, or short-term enrollment during the academic year (July 1 June 30)
who are chronically absent where chronic absentee means a pupil who is absent 10 percent or more of the schooldays
in the school year when the total number of days a pupil is absent is divided by the total number of days the pupil is
enrolled and school was actually taught in the total number of days the pupil is enrolled and school was actually taught in
the regular day schools of the district, exclusive of Saturdays and Sundays.
(2) The unduplicated count of pupils with a primary, secondary, or short-term enrollment during the academic year (July 1
June 30).
(3) Divide (1) by (2).
(b) Middle School dropout rate shall be calculated as set forth in California Code of Regulations, title 5, section 1039.1.
(c) High school dropout rate shall be calculated as follows:
(1) The number of cohort members who dropout by the end of year 4 in the cohort where cohort is defined as the number of
first-time grade 9 pupils in year 1 (starting cohort) plus pupils who transfer in, minus pupils who transfer out, emigrate, or
die during school years 1, 2, 3, and 4.
(2) The total number of cohort members.
(3) Divide (1) by (2).
(d) High school graduation rate shall be calculated as follows:
(1) The number of cohort members who earned a regular high school diploma [or earned an adult education high school
