Minarets Charter High School implemented an attendance recovery program. MCHS has an 95% attendance rate school wide. The attendance recover program has been successful.

Review of Performance Based on a review of performance on the state indicators and local performance indicators included in the California School Dashboard, progress toward LCAP goals, local self-assessment tools, stakeholder input, or other information, what progress is the LEA most proud of and how does the LEA plan to maintain or build upon that success? This may include identifying any specific examples of how past increases or improvements in services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth have led to improved performance for these students. Greatest Progress According to the state indicators, MCHS performed well in: English Language Arts was 68.76% Proficient and 38 points above standard. (green category) Math was 17.65% Proficient and 66.5 points below standard. (yellow category) Grad rate is at 98.7% (blue category) 0.3% chronic absenteeism rate. All local indicators were met: Implementation of Academic Standards; Access to a Broad Course of Study; Basics: Teachers, Instructional Materials, Facilities; Parent Engagement; Local Climate Survey. According to stakeholder input staff, students and parents feel the following areas meet or exceed expectations: students are challenged, Quality of supplies, Access to up-to-date grades, School-toHome Communication, Offerings for Extra Curricular activities, student to student interaction,

Page 7: LCFF Budget Overview for Parents...Minarets Charter High School is a comprehensive high school that is project-based, tech-centered laptop program), student-oriented and career focused.

Page 7 of 89

student discipline is enforced fairly, school personnel create a positive environment, staff respects differences in students. In 2016, MCHS purchased new technology for students and teachers. This gave students better access to online curriculum and updated software. All students now have access and teachers have an increased ability for curriculum instruction and delivery. The benchmark assessment is helping teachers and administrators track student progress and needs. Students increased for 2017/18 to 2018/19: Reading 9th-10% up to 38% Proficient 10th-4% up to 29% Proficient 11th-30% up to 46% Proficient Math 9th-16% up to 46% Proficient 10th- 5% up to 35% Proficient 11th- 4% up to 7% Proficient MCHS has an intervention block has been established to focus on students who are failing or score below grade level on the iReady assessment. MCHS used the services of an academic counselor and intervention teachers to track students performance.

Referring to the California School Dashboard, identify any state indicator or local performance indicator for which overall performance was in the “Red” or “Orange” performance category or where the LEA received a “Not Met” or “Not Met for Two or More Years” rating. Additionally, identify any areas that the LEA has determined need significant improvement based on review of local performance indicators or other local indicators. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these areas with the greatest need for improvement? Greatest Needs According to the state indicators: Suspension Rate was at 5.4% increasing 1.9% (orange category) College and Career-34.8% of students were prepared and 26.1% of students were approaching. (red category) Minarets Charter is implementing PBIS and conflict resolution to prevent and intervene with student behavior. Administration, classified and certificated staff are being trained. Minarets Charter is continuing to use the data from the district benchmarks to increase student achievement on math. Minarets Charter will continue to support intervention progress to meet the needs of the at-risk students at all grade levels.

Page 8 of 89

Minarets Charter has identified a need for students in the area of social/emotional health support. A MultiTiered System of Supports has been developed and an additional staff will be hired for the 2019-20 school year.

Referring to the California School Dashboard, identify any state indicator for which performance for any student group was two or more performance levels below the “all student” performance. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these performance gaps? Performance Gaps Based on the above definition, there are no performance gaps in the District. The District is committed to high achievement for all students, and has identified gaps to address.There is limited data for the CAASPP test results, but MCHS is above level 3 by 59.3 point in English and 30.6 points in Math. As of the 2017 testing in ELA, 71% of 11th graders are at or above standard. In ELA, for 2018 69% of the 11th graders met are were above standard. We had 64 testers. Due to population size we do not have any definable sub groups. There in no information on the different subgroups. We only have 65 testers in 2018. In Math for 2018, 17% of students are at or above standard. Due to population size we do not have any definable sub groups. There in no information on the different subgroups. We only have 65 testers in 2018. Math continues to be a struggle for our learners. In the 2018-2019 school year we added one additional math teacher mid year. This will continue in the 2019-2020 school year and we will target math intervention based on quarterly benchmarks and grades. What was noticed for "all students" as a weakness was in the following areas on the state test: English Language Arts- Writing and Reading Comprehension Mathematics- Concepts and Procedures Minarets Charter Steps for Improvement: **Continue with intervention supports at all school sites for academics and behaviors. **District will train teachers to use the data to drive instruction. **Professional Development for teachers regarding rigorous curriculum design will continue. **Continue to implement Multi-Tiered System of Supports district-wide.

Analysis Complete a copy of the following table for each of the LEA’s goals from the prior year LCAP. Duplicate the table as needed. Use actual annual measurable outcome data, including performance data from the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, as applicable. Describe the overall implementation of the actions/services to achieve the articulated goal. All actions were comprehensively carried out. Minarets Charter has zero vacant positions and had all positions filled with appropriately credentialed teachers. A 2% raise was negotiated last year for this next school year. Professional Development for English Language Arts curriculum development continued in August and continued all year long. There were 2 teacher release days to work on the development of the curriculum. Minarets Charter believes that it is important for the teachers to see what we identify as important standards and practices. Supplemental instructional materials were purchased to aide teachers in increasing student academic achievement. Professional Development on Positive Behavior Supports continued in the 18/19 school year. A system was put in place at all sites to track behaviors and to monitor the interventions that were put in place to treat them. iReady, is in its third year of implementation. The benchmark assessments were given 3 times during the school year. The results showed a growth in all grade levels. Minarets Charter is researching a benchmark system that is more effective in high school and that can be given in smaller chunks and more frequently throughout the year. Training was provided to teachers on how to use the data to drive instruction and strategies that could be used to aid specific deficiencies. Literacy aides continued in the 18-19 school year. These aides are instrumental in creating access and support to a variety of reading materials.

Academic Counseling Services- An additional counselor was added to support all students in preparing them for life after high school. Describe the overall effectiveness of the actions/services to achieve the articulated goal as measured by the LEA. According to the state indicators, Chawanakee Unified performed well in: English Language Arts district wide was in the Green category. Minarets Charter decreased by 20 points, but is still 38 points above standard. Socioeconomically Disadvantaged students were 21 points above standard and Hispanic students were 31.7 points and white student were 48.8 points above standard. On the local assessments there was growth. The district has changed when the assessments are given and are putting a focus more on standards mastery . Based on the improvements overall and for every student group in ELA, and improved results for four groups in math the actions are having a significantly positive impact on student success. Explain material differences between Budgeted Expenditures and Estimated Actual Expenditures. Action 2- Professional Development was increased due to the amount the district received. The were able to provide more than originally anticipated. Originally it was thought Title II funds would not be received, so Title IV was going to be used for this expense. Title II funds did come in, so the fund source changed. Action 3- The cost of the supplemental curriculum was lower that thought due to the amount needed for students in need of credit recovery. The classified salaries originally was an estimate, the actual amount came in lower. Action 4- the cost for AP and Dual Enrollment was much lower than anticipated. Not as many students took the tests as was budgeted.

Describe any changes made to this goal, expected outcomes, metrics, or actions and services to achieve this goal as a result of this analysis and analysis of the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, as applicable. Identify where those changes can be found in the LCAP. This goal will not have many changes. All activities require multiple years to full carry out implementation. The only changes is summer school will not be funded. Students will have the opportunity to take summer school through another school in the district.

Action 1- the cost of the math teacher was lower than anticipated. Action 3- Shoomp cost was lower that originally budgeted. AP cost was lower due to the amount of students taking the test.

Describe any changes made to this goal, expected outcomes, metrics, or actions and services to achieve this goal as a result of this analysis and analysis of the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, as applicable. Identify where those changes can be found in the LCAP. For 2019 and beyond, the high school is looking at a more age appropriate benchmark monitoring system. The current system iReady is very good for k-8 instruction but the assessments are not accurate and/or too long for viable high school instructions and measurement. While iReady has given our teachers an overall view of a student math talent, it does not break down by concrete standards for high school instruction.

THE MISSION of Minarets Charter High School is a new type of school for a new type of student, where 21st century digital learners are individually welcomed and challenged in a project-based, high-tech, career-focused, and student oriented educational environment. Minarets Charter Vision: While incorporating the guiding principles of Rigor, Relevance, Relationships, and Engagement, Minarets Charter High School will continually work towards being a model 21st century high school that integrates technology, digital learning models, student-centered learning and young professionalism. The six C's of a 21st century education- Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication,Collaboration, Community and Competancy- are essential and foundational to the learning environment and outcomes of Minarets Charter High School. Minarets Charter is charted by the Chawanakee Unified School District. Thus our improvement goals align closely with our chartering district. The Chawanakee School District is committed to the idea that meaningful stakeholder engagement is an integral part of developing an effective strategic plan. As such the Chawanakee Unified School District used a variety of meetings and activities to involve stakeholders in the LCAP process including the discussion and review of goals, district data as well as proposed actions and services. Community Engagement – The following groups were actively involved in the LCAP development process described below. DISTRICT LCAP Advisory Group -The group met 3 times to review progress on goals, updated on survey results, and gain input on how to support current goals .The group is comprised of parents, certificated staff, community members, principals, union representatives, the superintendent, and other district staff. Any person is allowed to attend these input sessions. Parents and Students - In March 2019 staff, parents and students were invited to complete a survey regarding district services and programs to determine their needs and wants. District Staff:

All students will graduated from high school being college and career ready. 2. Achievement gaps between student subgroups will be closed. 3. Students will learn and participate in safe, nurturing schools. 4. Parents and community members will be active participants in education. Our school continues to reach out to parents and community members. During various times throughout the school year, meetings are held to inform parents and others of our programs and are determination to pursue our 4 overarching goals.

Impact on LCAP and Annual Update How did these consultations impact the LCAP for the upcoming year?

The mission of Minarets Charter High School helped the stakeholders understand what the district represents and what drives Minarets Charter. The mission shaped the discussions that were had at the meetings. Stakeholder meetings and feedback is what drove the direction of the LCAP. Charter goals were based on the feedback and input from these meetings. The overarching goals were a topic point in discussion with the stakeholder groups. These goals helps the team to develop the goals discussed in the LCAP. During the 2015-2016 school year, we installed a new school to home communications system that allows for easier communications with stakeholders, including push notifications to mobile devices in 2016-2017. The use of targeted instruction with certain sub groups for that are struggling was implemented with an instructional coach. During the 2017-2018 year school communications will be improved even more using teacher(classroom) communications notices to parents and students via School Messenger. Also in 2017-2018 new websites for all district sites will be unified to provided consistent messaging to parents. Parent feedback during the 2017 meetings indicated that transportation from the greater Fresno/Madera area was a big concern. Based on this feedback we are adding a bus and using a charter bus company to provide more convenient travel for our Charter students. Also many parents

Page 32 of 89

indicated that they would like more timely information about school events and several reminders about key dates before events take place. Thus, we are implementing an opt in push notification service starting in the 2019-20 school year. During 2018-2019, teacher level communication with parents was established. We continue to see growth in our Facebook page and this has proven valuable for parent communications.

Demonstration of Increased or Improved Services for Unduplicated Pupils LCAP Year: 2019-20

Estimated Supplemental and Concentration Grant Funds Percentage to Increase or Improve Services

$208,217 6.96% Describe how services provided for unduplicated pupils are increased or improved by at least the percentage identified above, either qualitatively or quantitatively, as compared to services provided for all students in the LCAP year. Identify each action/service being funded and provided on a schoolwide or LEA-wide basis. Include the required descriptions supporting each schoolwide or LEA-wide use of funds (see instructions).

The percentage of unduplicated pupils is at 49%. All funds are being expended on a school-wide basis while also principally targeting unduplicated pupils as described in the section below: Goal 1; Action 1: Hire and retain teachers appropriately credentialed and assigned for all core elective courses and special education. This goal is directed for all students at all school site. Having highly qualified teachers teaching in their qualified content areas is the best for students. Being in a rural area we want to attract and retain high quality teachers that will best meet the needs of our diverse population. Goal 1; Action 2: Continue professional development for staff on best practices to increase student achievement This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of all students and is a LEA-wide goal. We will offer continued professional development to teachers to increase and improve academic achievement. Our professional development plan will support teachers in developing and maintaining instruction that supports high academic expectations and rigorous standards-aligned instruction. Goal 1; Action 3:Provide supports to help students be successful This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of English learners, low-income, and foster students. Through this LEA-wide goal, this action and service will increase and improve unduplicated students’ access to high quality library resources. Children from lower income families have less access to high quality reading materials and can result in reading failure (Neuman, International Reading Association, 2001).

Page 61: LCFF Budget Overview for Parents...Minarets Charter High School is a comprehensive high school that is project-based, tech-centered laptop program), student-oriented and career focused.

Goal 1; Action 4:Provide a comprehensive and rigorous academic program to students. This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of all students. Through this LEA-wide goal, we will offer continued professional development to teachers to increase and improve UDP academic achievement. Although research indicates that schools with high populations of economically disadvantaged students are more likely to under perform, research also suggests that maintaining high academic expectations for these students is critical to their academic success (Gehrke, 2005). Our professional development plan will support teachers in developing and maintaining instruction that supports high academic expectations and rigorous standards-aligned instruction principally designed to support all students. Goal 1; Action 5:Provide supports to help students be successful This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of English learners, low-income, and foster students. Through this LEA-wide goal, this action and service will increase and improve unduplicated students’ access to high quality library resources. Children from lower income families have less access to high quality reading materials and can result in reading failure (Neuman, International Reading Association, 2001). Goal 2; Action 1: Hire and retain teachers appropriately credentialed and assigned for all core elective courses and special education. This goal is directed for all students at all school site. Having highly qualified teachers teaching in their qualified content areas is the best for students. Being in a rural area we want to attract and retain high quality teachers that will best meet the needs of our diverse population. Goal 2; Action 2: Continue professional development for staff on best practices to increase student achievement This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of all students and is a LEA-wide goal. We will offer continued professional development to teachers to increase and improve academic achievement. Our professional development plan will support teachers in developing and maintaining instruction that supports high academic expectations and rigorous standards-aligned instruction. Goal 3; Action 1 & 2: Provide technology to all students and staff and Hire and retain qualified IT support staff to support students with technology needs. Many of our low-income students, foster students, and English learners do not have access to technology at home. The increased technology will support intervention instructional materials and instruction for English learners, and academically at-risk low-income students. Consistent with the ELD framework and the language demands of the Common Core, the promotion of academic literacy in English learners involves supporting students’ academic literacy to offer “access to the ranges of knowledge, abilities and forms of language” (Hawkins, 2004). According to Warschauer et al., (2004) technology is valuable tool to facilitate the process of promoting academic literacy for English learners. The use of computers and the internet provides English Learners with support for extensive and independent reading and writing, assists with language scaffolding, and provides opportunities for authentic research and publication, as well as, an important source for instructional materials in students’ native language will provide our students with additional alternatives for developing language learning with contextual and cultural depth (Castek, 2007).

Goal 2; Action 1: Facilities to maintain a district priority list and on going repairs and maintenance. This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of all students and is a LEA-wide goal. A large body of research over the past century has consistently found that school facilities impact teaching and learning in profound ways. Thus, researchers generally conclude that without adequate facilities and resources, it is extremely difficult to serve large numbers of children with complex needs (Evaluation and Education Policy Analysis, Penn State, 2015). Research confirms a link between the quality of school facilities and student achievement in English and mathematics. Findings from a study conducted by Uline and Tschannen-Moran (2008) found that quality facilities were significantly positively related to school climate variables, confirming that school climate plays a mediating role in the relationship between facility quality and student achievement. Goal 3; Action 3:Provide supports to help students be successful This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of English learners, low-income, and foster students. Through this LEA-wide goal, this action and service will increase and improve unduplicated students’ access to high quality library resources. Children from lower income families have less access to high quality reading materials and can result in reading failure (Neuman, International Reading Association, 2001). Goal 4; Action 1: Facilities to maintain a district priority list and on going repairs and maintenance. This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of all students and is a LEA-wide goal. A large body of research over the past century has consistently found that school facilities impact teaching and learning in profound ways.

Findings from a study conducted by Uline and Tschannen-Moran (2008) found that quality facilities were significantly positively related to school climate variables, confirming that school climate plays a mediating role in the relationship between facility quality and student achievement. Goal 4; Action 2: Health Support- to provide students with mental health and medical support. This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of English learners, low-income, and foster students. Wrap around type services for unduplicated students increases their academic improvement and well-being. The California Department of Education supports a coordinated approach to school health because it not only improves students’ health, but also their capacity to learn and to increase their academic improvement and well-being by providing a socially and emotionally supportive learning environment. Goal 4; Action 2: Safe and Secure Campus- to continue to provide training for crisis management, maintain security, and update surveillance systems. This service is principally directed to meeting the needs all students. According to The Center for Poverty Research at the University of California, Davis, “For students who felt very safe at school, their odds of being truant were about 44% lower than for students

reporting unsafe school conditions. School-wide initiatives emphasizing school safety and connectedness have the potential to improve school attendance at the most disadvantaged schools.” Increasing school safety is important for the community and staff and adds to an effective learning environment for all students. We will increase school safety professional development and school safety supplies. This LEA-wide goal will support all students equity and access to a safe school environment. Goal 4; Action 2: Parent/Community Involvement- Increase access to parents and community regarding school activities and grades and to increase parent and community involvement in school committees and groups. This service is principally directed to meeting the needs of English learners, low-income, and foster students because this LEA-wide goal will support parents of unduplicated students as well as the community in collaborating to promote student achievement. When schools actively involve parents and engage community resources, they are able to respond more effectively to the needs of the most vulnerable students. Effective and consistent communication with all stakeholders and community is vital for a coherent well informed system. We will increase and improve district communication and community outreach. ------- ------- LCAP Year: 2018-19

Minarets Charter High School only receives Supplemental funds and receives no funds from the Concentration grant. Currently the demographics of the charter indicate that 36% of the district's students are qualified for Free and Reduced meals. Given the large group of Low Income students, all district goals are designed to close the achievement gap and meet the needs of these targets students. By implementing goals and programs to close the achievement gap for these students, our other 64% of students receive similar key programs. The goal is to give all students access even if the students can't afford the access on their own. This access to materials and support is key to the increased success for our high risk students. By providing these services school wide, we are able to reach and serve the populations that generate the funds. Expected Supplemental expenditures include: School Psychologist (Increased Days 18-19) $15,652.00 Health Services (Increased Days 18-19) $14,935.00 Intervention Teacher $12,209.00 D.

Increased services include Librarian technician to give students access to books and other material to support literacy skills, up-to-date writing curriculum to address to students low writing skills, technology for students to access supplemental online materials, and credit recovery classes to give the low performing students access to curriculum that needs to be made up. These targeted services will increase the students ability to improve low academic achievement scores. Th percentage of Unduplicated Pupils in the district is 35.4%. All funds are being expended on a district-wide basis while also principally targeting unduplicated pupils as described in the section below: * Student supports for socio/emotional health. * Funding Literacy Aides at all sites. *Technology and support for students to access curriculum and supports digitally. *Reduce class size at each school below negotiated class size ratio to target students who are low academically performing. *Systematized Intervention programs and coordinators to ensure all students' needs are addressed for Response to Intervention and Instruction. Positive Behavior Intervention Systems (PBIS), and other Alternate Means of Correction (Alternatives to Suspension), Family Engagement, and other supports so that systems and structures are consistent throughout the district while also prioritizing unduplicated students needing these interventions. *Expanding Student Engagement and Enrichment Program to K-8 sites. Research shows that students that are engaged in school, primarily in elementary and middle school, have higher academic achievement, more positive behaviors, and a sense of belonging, so they might remain in school. The Minarets Charter as part of the Chawanakee Unified School District team reviewed Educational Theory around the reasoning to systematize services. Research supports the systematic implementation and data systems for accountability and monitoring of supports throughout the year. Our stakeholders and evaluation data demonstrates the need for systematized levels of intervention and support. One promising approach to the systemic and sustained implementation of these practices is school-wide interventions targeted to the students that need them through a layered intervention model.------- ------- -------

Addendum The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and Annual Update Template documents and communicates local educational agencies’ (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support student outcomes and overall performance. The LCAP is a three-year plan, which is reviewed and updated annually, as required. Charter schools may complete the LCAP to align with the term of the charter school’s budget, typically one year, which is submitted to the school’s authorizer. The LCAP and Annual Update Template must be completed by all LEAs each year.

For school districts, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all students and each student group identified by the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) (ethnic, socioeconomically disadvantaged, English learners, foster youth, pupils with disabilities, and homeless youth), for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities.

For county offices of education, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all students and each LCFF student group funded through the county office of education (students attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or expelled under certain conditions) 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 funded by a school district that are provided to students attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs.

If a county superintendent of schools has jurisdiction over a single school district, the county board of education and the governing board of the school district may adopt and file for review and approval a single LCAP consistent with the requirements in Education Code (EC) sections 52060, 52062, 52066, 52068, and 52070. The LCAP must clearly articulate to which entity’s budget (school district or county superintendent of schools) all budgeted and actual expenditures are aligned.

Charter schools must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all students and each LCFF subgroup of students including students with disabilities and homeless youth, for each of the state priorities that apply for the grade levels served or the nature of the program operated by the charter school, 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 EC. Changes in LCAP goals and actions/services for charter schools that result from the annual update process do not necessarily constitute a material revision to the school’s charter petition.

Plan Summary The LCAP is intended to reflect an LEA’s annual goals, actions, services and expenditures within a fixed three-year planning cycle. LEAs must include a plan summary for the LCAP each year. When developing the LCAP, enter the appropriate LCAP year, and address the prompts provided in these sections. When developing the LCAP in year 2 or year 3, enter the appropriate LCAP year and replace the previous summary information with information relevant to the current year LCAP. In this section, briefly address the prompts provided. These prompts are not limits. LEAs may include information regarding local program(s), community demographics, and the overall vision of the LEA. LEAs may also attach documents (e.g., the California School Dashboard data reports) if desired and/or include charts illustrating goals, planned outcomes, actual outcomes, or related planned and actual expenditures. An LEA may use an alternative format for the plan summary as long as it includes the information specified in each prompt and the budget summary table. The reference to California School Dashboard means the California School Dashboard adopted by the State Board of Education under EC Section 52064.5.

Comprehensive Support and Improvement An LEA with a school or schools identified for comprehensive support and improvement (CSI) under the Every Student Succeeds Act must respond to the following prompts:

Schools Identified: Identify the schools within the LEA that have been identified for CSI.

Annual Update The planned goals, expected outcomes, actions/services, and budgeted expenditures must be copied verbatim from the previous year’s* approved LCAP; in addition, list the state and/or local priorities addressed by the planned goals. Minor typographical errors may be corrected.

* For example, for LCAP year 2017/18 of the 2017/18 – 2019/20 LCAP, review the goals in the 2016/17 LCAP. Moving forward, review the goals from the most recent LCAP year. For example, LCAP year 2020/21 will review goals from the 2019/20 LCAP year, which is the last year of the 2017/18 – 2019/20 LCAP.

Annual Measurable Outcomes For each goal in the prior year, identify and review the actual measurable outcomes as compared to the expected annual measurable outcomes identified in the prior year for the goal.

Actions/Services Identify the planned Actions/Services and the budgeted expenditures to implement these actions toward achieving the described goal. Identify the actual actions/services implemented to meet the described goal and the estimated actual annual expenditures to implement the actions/services. As applicable, identify any changes to the students or student groups served, or to the planned location of the actions/services provided.

Analysis Using actual annual measurable outcome data, including data from the California School Dashboard, analyze whether the planned actions/services were effective in achieving the goal. Respond to the prompts as instructed.

Describe the overall implementation of the actions/services to achieve the articulated goal. Include a discussion of relevant challenges and successes experienced with the implementation process.

Describe the overall effectiveness of the actions/services to achieve the articulated goal as measured by the LEA.

Explain material differences between Budgeted Expenditures and Estimated Actual Expenditures. Minor variances in expenditures or a dollar-for-dollar accounting is not required.

Describe any changes made to this goal, expected outcomes, metrics, or actions and services to achieve this goal as a result of this analysis and analysis of the data provided in the California School Dashboard, as applicable. Identify where those changes can be found in the LCAP.

Stakeholder Engagement Meaningful engagement of parents, students, and other stakeholders, including those representing the student groups identified by LCFF, is critical to the development of the LCAP and the budget process. EC identifies the minimum consultation requirements for school districts and county offices of education as consulting with teachers, principals, administrators, other school personnel, local bargaining units of the school district, parents, and pupils in developing the LCAP. EC requires

Page 71: LCFF Budget Overview for Parents...Minarets Charter High School is a comprehensive high school that is project-based, tech-centered laptop program), student-oriented and career focused.

Page 71 of 89

charter schools to consult with teachers, principals, administrators, other school personnel, parents, and pupils in developing the LCAP. In addition, EC Section 48985 specifies the requirements for the translation of notices, reports, statements, or records sent to a parent or guardian. The LCAP should be shared with, and LEAs should request input from, school site-level advisory groups, as applicable (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, student 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 specific goals.

Instructions: The stakeholder engagement process is an ongoing, annual process. The requirements for this section are the same for each year of a three-year LCAP. When developing the LCAP, enter the appropriate LCAP year, and describe the stakeholder engagement process used to develop the LCAP and Annual Update. When developing the LCAP in year 2 or year 3, enter the appropriate LCAP year and replace the previous stakeholder narrative(s) and describe the stakeholder engagement process used to develop the current year LCAP and Annual Update.

School districts and county offices of education: Describe the process used to consult with the Parent Advisory Committee, the English Learner Parent Advisory Committee, parents, students, school personnel, the LEA’s local bargaining units, and the community to inform the development of the LCAP and the annual review and analysis for the indicated LCAP year. Charter schools: Describe the process used to consult with teachers, principals, administrators, other school personnel, parents, and students to inform the development of the LCAP and the annual review and analysis for the indicated LCAP year.

Describe how the consultation process impacted the development of the LCAP and annual update for the indicated LCAP year, including the goals, actions, services, and expenditures.

Goals, Actions, and Services LEAs must include a description of the annual goals, for all students and each LCFF identified group of students, to be achieved for each state priority as applicable to type of LEA. An LEA may also include additional local priorities. This section shall also include a description of the specific planned actions an LEA will take to meet the identified goals, and a description of the expenditures required to implement the specific actions.

School districts and county offices of education: The LCAP is a three-year plan, which is reviewed and updated annually, as required. Charter schools: The number of years addressed in the LCAP may align with the term of the charter schools budget, typically one year, which is submitted to the school’s authorizer. If year 2 and/or year 3 is not applicable, charter schools must specify as such.

New, Modified, Unchanged As part of the LCAP development process, which includes the annual update and stakeholder engagement, indicate if the goal, identified need, related state and/or local priorities, and/or expected annual measurable outcomes for the current LCAP year or future LCAP years are modified or unchanged from the previous year’s LCAP; or, specify if the goal is new.

Page 72: LCFF Budget Overview for Parents...Minarets Charter High School is a comprehensive high school that is project-based, tech-centered laptop program), student-oriented and career focused.

Page 72 of 89

Goal State the goal. LEAs may number the goals using the “Goal #” box for ease of reference. A goal is a broad statement that describes the desired result to which all actions/services are directed. A goal answers the question: What is the LEA seeking to achieve?

Related State and/or Local Priorities List the state and/or local priorities addressed by the goal. The LCAP must include goals that address each of the state priorities, as applicable to the type of LEA, and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. (Link to State Priorities)

Identified Need Describe the needs that led to establishing the goal. The identified needs may be based on quantitative or qualitative information, including, but not limited to, results of the annual update process or performance data from the California School Dashboard, as applicable.

Expected Annual Measurable Outcomes For each LCAP year, identify the metric(s) or indicator(s) that the LEA will use to track progress toward the expected outcomes. LEAs may identify metrics for specific student groups. Include in the baseline column the most recent data associated with this metric or indicator available at the time of adoption of the LCAP for the first year of the three-year plan. The most recent data associated with a metric or indicator includes data as reported in the annual update of the LCAP year immediately preceding the three-year plan, as applicable. The baseline data shall remain unchanged throughout the three-year LCAP. In the subsequent year columns, identify the progress to be made in each year of the three-year cycle of the LCAP. Consider how expected outcomes in any given year are related to the expected outcomes for subsequent years. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, but at minimum an LEA must use the applicable required metrics for the related state priorities, in each LCAP year as applicable to the type of LEA. For the student engagement priority metrics, as applicable, LEAs must calculate the rates as described in the LCAP Template Appendix, sections (a) through (d).

Planned Actions/Services For each action/service, the LEA must complete either the section “For Actions/Services not included as contributing to meeting Increased or Improved Services Requirement” or the section “For Actions/Services included as contributing to meeting the Increased or Improved Services Requirement.” The LEA shall not complete both sections for a single action.

For Actions/Services Not Contributing to Meeting the Increased or Improved Services Requirement

Students to be Served The “Students to be Served” box is to be completed for all actions/services except for those which are included by the LEA as contributing to meeting the requirement to increase or improve services for unduplicated students. Indicate in this box which students will benefit from the actions/services by entering “All”, “Students with Disabilities”, or “Specific Student Group(s)”. If “Specific Student Group(s)” is entered, identify the specific student group(s) as appropriate.

Page 73: LCFF Budget Overview for Parents...Minarets Charter High School is a comprehensive high school that is project-based, tech-centered laptop program), student-oriented and career focused.

Page 73 of 89

Location(s) Identify the location where the action/services will be provided. If the services are provided to all schools within the LEA, the LEA must identify “All Schools”. If the services are provided to specific schools within the LEA or specific grade spans only, the LEA must enter “Specific Schools” or “Specific Grade Spans”. Identify the individual school or a subset of schools or grade spans (e.g., all high schools or grades K-5), as appropriate.

Charter schools operating more than one site, authorized within the same charter petition, may choose to distinguish between sites by entering “Specific Schools” and identifying the site(s) where the actions/services will be provided. For charter schools operating only one site, “All Schools” and “Specific Schools” may be synonymous and, therefore, either would be appropriate. Charter schools may use either term provided they are used in a consistent manner through the LCAP.

For Actions/Services Contributing to Meeting the Increased or Improved Services Requirement:

Students to be Served For any action/service contributing to the LEA’s overall demonstration that it has increased or improved services for unduplicated students above what is provided to all students (see Demonstration of Increased or Improved Services for Unduplicated Students section, below), the LEA must identify the unduplicated student group(s) being served.

Scope of Service For each action/service contributing to meeting the increased or improved services requirement, identify the scope of service by indicating “LEA-wide”, “Schoolwide”, or “Limited to Unduplicated Student Group(s)”. The LEA must identify one of the following three options:

If the action/service is being funded and provided to upgrade the entire educational program of the LEA, enter "LEA-wide."

If the action/service is being funded and provided to upgrade the entire educational program of a particular school or schools, enter “schoolwide”.

If the action/service being funded and provided is limited to the unduplicated students identified in “Students to be Served”, enter “Limited to Unduplicated Student Group(s)”.

For charter schools and single-school school districts, “LEA-wide” and “Schoolwide” may be synonymous and, therefore, either would be appropriate. For charter schools operating multiple schools (determined by a unique CDS code) under a single charter, use “LEA-wide” to refer to all schools under the charter and use “Schoolwide” to refer to a single school authorized within the same charter petition. Charter schools operating a single school may use “LEA-wide” or “Schoolwide” provided these terms are used in a consistent manner through the LCAP.

Location(s) Identify the location where the action/services will be provided. If the services are provided to all schools within the LEA, the LEA must indicate “All Schools”. If the services are provided to specific schools within the LEA or specific grade spans only, the LEA must enter “Specific Schools” or “Specific Grade Spans”. Identify the individual school or a subset of schools or grade spans (e.g., all high schools or grades K-5), as appropriate.

Page 74: LCFF Budget Overview for Parents...Minarets Charter High School is a comprehensive high school that is project-based, tech-centered laptop program), student-oriented and career focused.

Page 74 of 89

Charter schools operating more than one site, authorized within the same charter petition, may choose to distinguish between sites by entering “Specific Schools” and identify the site(s) where the actions/services will be provided. For charter schools operating only one site, “All Schools” and “Specific Schools” may be synonymous and, therefore, either would be appropriate. Charter schools may use either term provided they are used in a consistent manner through the LCAP.

Actions/Services For each LCAP year, identify the actions to be performed and services provided to meet the described goal. Actions and services that are implemented to achieve the identified goal may be grouped together. LEAs may number the action/service using the “Action #” box for ease of reference.

New/Modified/Unchanged:

Enter “New Action” if the action/service is being added in any of the three years of the LCAP to meet the articulated goal.

Enter “Modified Action” if the action/service was included to meet an articulated goal and has been changed or modified in any way from the prior year description.

Enter “Unchanged Action” if the action/service was included to meet an articulated goal and has not been changed or modified in any way from the prior year description.

o If a planned action/service is anticipated to remain unchanged for the duration of the plan, an LEA may enter “Unchanged Action” and leave the subsequent year columns blank rather than having to copy/paste the action/service into the subsequent year columns. Budgeted expenditures may be treated in the same way as applicable.

Note: The goal from the prior year may or may not be included in the current three-year LCAP. For example, when developing year 1 of the LCAP, the goals articulated in year 3 of the preceding three-year LCAP will be from the prior year.

Charter schools may complete the LCAP to align with the term of the charter school’s budget that is submitted to the school’s authorizer. Accordingly, a charter school submitting a one-year budget to its authorizer may choose not to complete the year 2 and year 3 portions of the “Goals, Actions, and Services” section of the template. If year 2 and/or year 3 is not applicable, charter schools must specify as such.

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 LEA’s 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 EC sections 52061, 52067, and 47606.5. Expenditures that are included more than once in an LCAP must be indicated as a duplicated expenditure and include a reference to the goal and action/service where the expenditure first appears in the LCAP.

Page 75: LCFF Budget Overview for Parents...Minarets Charter High School is a comprehensive high school that is project-based, tech-centered laptop program), student-oriented and career focused.

Page 75 of 89

If a county superintendent of schools has jurisdiction over a single school district, and chooses to complete a single LCAP, the LCAP must clearly articulate to which entity’s budget (school district or county superintendent of schools) all budgeted expenditures are aligned.

Demonstration of Increased or Improved Services for Unduplicated Students This section must be completed for each LCAP year. When developing the LCAP in year 2 or year 3, copy the “Demonstration of Increased or Improved Services for Unduplicated Students” table and enter the appropriate LCAP year. Using the copy of the section, complete the section as required for the current year LCAP. Retain all prior year sections for each of the three years within the LCAP.

Estimated Supplemental and Concentration Grant Funds 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 students as determined pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 5 (5 CCR) Section 15496(a)(5).

Percentage to Increase or Improve Services Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all students in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR Section 15496(a)(7).

Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR Section 15496, describe how services provided for unduplicated pupils are increased or improved by at least the percentage calculated as compared to services provided for all students in the LCAP year. To improve services means to grow services in quality and to increase services means to grow services in quantity. This description must address how the action(s)/service(s) limited for one or more unduplicated student group(s), and any schoolwide or districtwide action(s)/service(s) supported by the appropriate description, taken together, result in the required proportional increase or improvement in services for unduplicated pupils. If the overall increased or improved services include any actions/services being funded and provided on a schoolwide or districtwide basis, identify each action/service and include the required descriptions supporting each action/service as follows. For those services being provided on an LEA-wide basis:

For school districts with an unduplicated pupil percentage of 55% or more, and for charter schools and county offices of education: Describe how these services are principally directed to and effective in meeting its goals for unduplicated pupils in the state and any local priorities.

For school districts with an unduplicated pupil percentage of less than 55%: Describe how these services are principally directed to and effective in meeting its goals for unduplicated pupils in the state and any local priorities. Also describe how the services are the most effective use of the funds to meet these goals for its unduplicated pupils. Provide the basis for this determination, including any alternatives considered, supporting research, experience or educational theory.

Page 76 of 89

For school districts only, identify in the description those services being funded and provided on a schoolwide basis, and include the required description supporting the use of the funds on a schoolwide basis:

For schools with 40% or more enrollment of unduplicated pupils: Describe how these services are principally directed to and effective in meeting its goals for its unduplicated pupils in the state and any local priorities.

For school districts expending funds on a schoolwide basis at a school with less than 40% enrollment of unduplicated pupils: Describe how these services are principally directed to and how the services are the most effective use of the funds to meet its goals for English learners, low income students and foster youth, in the state and any local priorities.
