Purpose: One key aspect of the LCAP process is the engagement of all stakeholders. Staff, teachers, administrators, bargaining partners, community members, parents/guardians and students - including foster youth, homeless, and those from low-income and English learner communities - are to be consulted to provide feedback on the LCAP. The LCAP Committee meets a few times a year.
