By Richard Bammer

Vacaville Unified leaders on Thursday will consider approving what’s called a “federal addendum” to the school district’s Local Control and Accountability Plan, outlining how federal dollars will be used to support specific groups of students, among them low-income, English learners and foster youth.

The addendum is required to ensure alignment with federal funding requirements under the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA. It details how the district uses federal funds to support Title I, II, III, and IV programs, so that strategies and actions boost student achievement, promote educator equity, and address the needs of disadvantaged students, according to agenda documents.

Ali Eeds, director of secondary education, will make the presentation, then the governing board will be asked to consider approving the addendum.

BY Nick Sestanovich

The Governing Board of the Vacaville Unified School District will consider adopting with a projected $116 million in General Fund revenues for the 2020-21 academic year at its Thursday meeting.

The revenue assumptions used for the budget are based on projections from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s May revisions to the state budget. The district’s budget is also linked to the approval process of the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), both of which require a public hearing and adoption. The budget approval process will have both at Thursday’s school board meeting, while an LCAP hearing will be held at a later date.

For the 2020-21 school year, VUSD is anticipating $5 million in local funding, $9 million in state funding, $4.6 million in federal funding and $97.9 million in funding from the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), a funding system which establishes grants in place of funding streams. Combined, the funding systems are projected to provide more than $116 million for the next school year.

SPI Commends Governor’s LCAP Executive Order – Year 2020 (CA Dept of Education)

Posted on by

State Superintendent Tony Thurmond commended yesterday’s executive order by Governor Gavin Newsom that allows schools to focus on the impacts of campus closures as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and their mitigation plans for when students return this fall. The executive order does this by extending the deadline for school districts and charter schools to submit upcoming Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAP) which are long-range planning documents tied to budget projections.

“School districts statewide have been working hard to put distance learning platforms into place and keep their students fed. The LCAP process deadlines should not be placing additional burdens on schools, which as a result of our current climate of social distancing, cannot meaningfully engage with their community stakeholders,” Thurmond said. “The Governor’s action frees up staff time and resources for districts to focus solely on the immediate learning needs and health of our students.”
