Trustee Highlights

Students from Boronda Meadows and Boronda DIAS performed two songs from Seussical the Musical. Theater and performing arts are one of many enrichment options for students attending the After School program.

At the Feb. 20 meeting, the Trustees received information about the District's LCAP—Local Control and Accountability Plan—which describes the goals, actions, services and expenditures to support student outcomes that reflect state and local priorities. The LCAP is created with the collective input of the SCESD community, and is designed to direct District funding priorities with significant community engagement.

The Trustees received information on the District's spending as directed by the LCAP (see graphic below), as well as LCAP Goal 3, Quality Staff Providing Exceptional Service.

The 2024-2025 school year calendar was approved! See below for details.
