◦ Adoption of the plan:◦ Board adopted concurrent with, or prior to, the district’s budget◦ Submitted to the County Office of Education for approval◦ Posted on the district’s website◦ County Office of Education posts LCAP for each district

◦ Oversight Responsibilities: County Office of Education◦ If the LCAP is not approved by the County Office of Education

◦ Identify strengths and weaknesses in regard to state priorities◦ Assign an academic expert or team of experts◦ Request that the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) assign the California

Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) to provide advice and assistance

◦ If a district fails to improve outcomes for subgroups three out of four consecutive years, and the CCEE finds that the district is unable to implement its recommendations, the SPI can:

◦ Make changes to the LCAP◦ Impose budget revisions◦ Stay and rescind action of the governing board – except where such action would

violate the local Collective Bargaining Agreement◦ Appoint an academic trustee

units◦ Establish a Parent Advisory Group and an English Learner Parent Advisory Group ◦ Present LCAP to groups for review and comment◦ Superintendent will respond in writing to all comments received◦ Public hearing◦ Board adoption◦ County approval
