Current SWOT Analysis vs. LCPS Strategic Plan

Strengths	Weaknesses
Continuity of Leadership at LCPS and on Campuses - overall, we have a strong, diverse team with many organizational strengths Strong strategic plan and aligned academic program infrastructure Consistent A-G / college outcomes - with increased investment of our college and career team Emerging facilities and financial strategy alongside grant funding	Lack of consistent instructional focus and academic outcomes - both performance and growth - in our core content areas Variability of Academic program execution across our schools leading to inconsistent data Need for “back-office” precision in key areas (operational expenditures, data collection and leveraging our technology, managing student/family/staff experiences, communication and decision making)
Opportunities	Threats
Accelerating academic growth and performance across all schools in preparation for charter renewals in 2024 (Lodestar), 2025 (LH HS), and 2026 (LH K-8) Meeting the multi-faceted needs of our new and returning students most impacted by the pandemic Enrollment Strategy - Family and Community Engagement vs. Oakland’s changing landscape Supporting our Teachers: Retention / Recruitment / Compensation / Development	Charter Renewals: We need to manage to three concrete areas - our academic data, our community impact, and managing to Oakland politics. State Legislation - there were a few anti-charter bills that would have impacted our finances; the evolving state dashboard calculations and criteria that shapes charter renewal tiers. State funding, given the economic uncertainty, rising inflation and cost of living in Oakland
