As practical, affordable, and appropriate, all input, including feedback generated from this Public Hearing, is reviewed and considered for the final LCAP document.

The public hearing of the LCAP must be held at the same meeting as the public hearing for the Budget.  In accordance with Education Code section 52062(b)(2) final adoption will be considered at the regular meeting on June 14, 2023 along with the district’s Local Indicators.
