NANCY SEDGWICK, SAN DIEGO COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION
BACKGROUND ON PLAN ALIGNMENT
With the transition to a new statewide system of assessments, the revision of a state accountability system, and the implementation of a new funding system, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI), the California Department of Education (CDE), and the State Board of Education (SBE) recognize the need to review the landscape of current state and federal plan requirements.
The Plan Alignment and Coordination Project (PACP) was established to address this need and will develop and highlight resources to support an integrated and coordinated planning process. The work began in June of 2014 and is continuing.
BACKGROUND ON PLAN ALIGNMENT
The PACP determined that there were 33 possible plans required under various state and federal programs
Of those, three would be the most likely to be able to be aligned LCAP

and in-depth look at district and school data which is: Easily accessible Purposefully displayed Publicly discussed
( Tom Many)
Discussion leads to agreement on prioritized needsPossible solutions are researched and shared widely with
all stakeholdersDistrict wide agreement on next steps (solutions) to
address prioritized needs
GOALS
Goals support the visionWith a clear and common vision would the goals
for different plans need to be different?
GOAL ACTIVITY
Brainstorm two goals for the sample district, one academic and one on school climate.
Refine the goal to be used for the LCAP, for the LEAP and for the SPSA
ACTIVITIES/ACTIONS/SERVICES
These are the "how". What will the district and school do to support the
achievement of the goal?Would these be different for the district vs the school?
What are district non-negotiables, and where do schools have flexibility?
How much detail is needed?
ON-GOING ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE PLANS
Timely assessment and feedback on the effectiveness of the actions
At the school and district levelEfficient and effective process for feedback and correction
