PLAN FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTThis detailed plan establishes the points that serve as the foundation for teaching and learning, and other support systems within the Panama-Buena Vista Union School District.

VISION - Setting a clear vision for the future, providing a sense of direction of where we want to go and what we want to become as a school district.

MISSION - Another key point is the establishment of a mission that serves to define the overall purpose of the District, outlining specific language of why we exist.

VALUES AND BELIEFS - A third critical point is the commitment to a set of values and beliefs that all members of the school district (parents, students, teachers, and staff) will follow in order to commit to a learning environment that support the positive academic and behavioral growth of all students.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES - Last but not least is the establishment of a set of strategic priorities that will keep the district focused and efficient, serving as the formula that will lead the District to actualize the vision of becoming our vision “Excellence in Education.”

LCAP REVIEWPam’s slides

REVIEW!!

WHAT IS THE LCAP?• The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a

critical part of the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF).

• Under the LCFF the school district must engage parents, educators, employees, and the community to prepare the LCAP which describes how we intend to meet annual goals for all pupils.

WHAT IS THE LCAP?• The LCAP should describe the school district’s overall

vision for students, annual goals, and specific actions that will be taken to achieve the vision and goals.

• The LCAP must focus on eight areas identified as state priorities.

• The LCAP will demonstrate how the district’s budget will help achieve the goals and assess each year how well the strategies in the plan were able to improve outcomes.
