  1. Review and Possible Action to Approve 2024-25 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) & 2024-25 Local Indicators: 

The 2024-2025 LCAP represents year one of a three-year tool in which we define our plans to meet new goals and leverage resources to improve equitable student outcomes. The 2024-25 LCAP largely maintains the same two goals around success in the areas of: (1) academic and professional support & achievement and (2) healthy climate, culture, and community engagement. This plan establishes modifications to metrics, actions, and expenditures to reflect the interest of our education partners and support the identified areas of need. The 2024-25 plan reflects survey data, previous Public Hearing input (generated from the February, March, and the June 10 meetings), SELPA feedback, YouthTruth survey data, content shared during four Staff Input Sessions (held during April and May), and feedback from the District Advisory Council. Districts are required to hold a public hearing at a meeting prior to final adoption of their LCAP. 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 10, 2024 along with the district’s Local Indicators. The 2023-24 LCAP is posted on our website www.bvusd.org. The current draft of the 2024-25 LCAP is available for public inspection at the District Office, 2250 Mesquite Dr. and will be posted on the website after final adoption and approval. The Superintendent recommends approval.

  1. Review and Possible Action to Approve 2024-25 Budget:

Districts are required to pass a preliminary budget by June 30 every year, typically before the State finalizes the budget, using estimates from the Governor’s May Revision, County, and District information. The budget includes the district’s Statement of Balances in Excess of Minimum Recommend Reserves, in accordance with EC 42127 (a)(2)(B). The budget includes a projected[ $569,926] surplus. More information will be known once the State budget is approved. The Superintendent recommends approval.

  1. Review and Possible Action to Approve Recommendation for English Language Arts Curriculum. Principal Hale will share another update on the District’s curriculum pilot and adoption process and will present a recommendation for the adoption of McGraw Hill’s Wonders English Language Arts program for Yulupa Elementary. The Superintendent recommends approval.
