Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)

The LCAP is a tool for local educational agencies to set goals, plan actions, and leverage resources to meet those goals to improve student outcomes. The LCAP is a three-year plan that describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student outcomes that address state and local priorities. The LCAP provides an opportunity for LEAs (county office of education [COE], school districts and charter schools) to share their stories of how, what, and why programs and services are selected to meet their local needs.

For more information on the SUHSD LCAP, please visit https://www.sweetwaterschools.org/lcap/

LCAP Survey

Students, Staff, Parents, and Community Members, we need your help in inform SUHSD Local Control Accountability Plan in support student achievement, wellbeing, parent and community engagement and our systems of support. 

In 2023-2024, Sweetwater Union High School District received approximately $110 million to support our students to achieve academically, be supported emotionally, and ensure schools maintain a healthy environment for learning. The way these funds are used must include the input of all community partners, specially YOU!

Please review how the district has used these funds under the 4 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Goals below. After each Goal, please write or list some suggestions as to how we can use these funds next year as we develop our 24/25 LCAP.  We want to ensure we capture your thoughts and suggestions based on the needs you see at your school and community. To see the plan, visit SUHSD Local Control Accountability Plan  and take a few minutes to complete the  LCAP Survey

The California School Dashboard (Dashboard) is an online tool designed to help communities across the state access important information about kindergarten through grade twelve schools and districts. The Dashboard features easy-to-read reports on multiple measures of school success. The Dashboard represents one of many steps taken over the past decade that have raised the bar for
student learning, increased the focus on equity, and expanded the review of performance data to a specific set of state and local measures. For more information, please visit the Dashboard website at https://www.caschooldashboard.org/
