Each local educational agency (LEA) is required to adopt a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) with goals that address all applicable state priorities, one of which is Priority 3 (Parental Involvement and Family Engagement). Priority 3 asks LEAs to address parental involvement and family engagement, including efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each individual school site, and including how the school district will promote parental participation in programs for unduplicated students (low income, foster youth and English learners) and individuals with exceptional needs.

In addition, among other things, the superintendent of a school district or a county office of education is required to:

• Present the LCAP and/or annual update to the LCAP to advisory committees (parent advisory committee, English learner parent advisory committee and student advisory committee, as applicable) for review and comment; and
• Respond, in writing, to comments received from the parent advisory committee.

As part of the local indicator requirements for Priority 3, LEAs are required to:

• Monitor their progress related to parental involvement and family engagement;
• Report to their local board at the same meeting in which they adopt the LCAP; and
• Report to the Dashboard.

If you are interested in participating in the LCAP Advisory Committee, contact any school site administrator for more information.
