LCAP Survey
It is that time of the year where we need your input to determine how effective OUSD is in achieving its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals. Here’s why it matters:
Funding Prioritization: Schools receive funding based on identified priorities in the LCAP. Families’ input helps guide decisions on where to allocate resources.
Addressing Student Needs: Families can express concerns about students' academic and social needs, including mental health, support services, and extracurricular activities, which the district can then address.
Educational Equity: The survey allows families to highlight specific needs in underserved communities, ensuring equitable distribution of resources to help all students succeed.
Accountability: LCAP provides transparency on how funds are used. When families complete the survey, they help hold the district accountable for fulfilling its promises to improve school quality.
In short, completing the LCAP survey empowers families to shape the educational experience in our district, advocating for a better environment for their children and their peers. This survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete. All information you provide is anonymous and individual responses will be kept confidential. It will only be viewed by authorized staff for use in the evaluation of the District’s progress in achieving our LCAP goals. We hope you will answer every question honestly, but you may skip any question you do not wish to answer.
