The Local Control and Accountability Plan Survey provides input and helps influence EUSD’s educational priorities and budgetary spending. Each district’s LCAP must be built around eight priority areas identified by the California Department of Education: - Access to core services - Implementation of Common Core State Standards - Access to a broad course of study - Student achievement - Other student outcomes - Student engagement - Parent involvement - School climate But while these priority areas are dictated by the State, the specific goals and targets within each area are largely determined by each school district. In other words, LCAP helps ensure that EUSD — not Sacramento — will have more authority to spend precious resources in a way that is better aligned with the needs of the Escondido community and our students We want to hear what you have to say! Submit the EUSD LCAP survey TODAY! Click on the link below to share YOUR thoughts. https://forms.gle/EUb25s55L3a1geHC8
