Local Control and Accountability Plan
State of California's Priorities For Public Schools
-
Provide all students access to fully credentialed teachers, instructional materials that align with state standards, and safe facilities.
-
Implement California’s academic standards, including the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and math, Next Generation Science Standards, English language development, history social science, visual and performing arts, health education, and physical education.
-
Solicit parent involvement and participation so the local community is engaged in the decision-making process and the educational programs of students.
-
Improve student achievement and outcomes along multiple measures, including test scores, English proficiency, and college and career preparedness.
-
Support student engagement, including whether students attend a school or are chronically absent.
-
Highlight school climate and connectedness through a variety of factors, such as suspension and expulsion rates and other locally identified means.
-
Ensure all students have access to classes that prepare them for college and careers regardless of what school they attend or where they live.
-
Measure other important student outcomes related to required areas of study, including physical education and the arts.
Community Input Required
One requirement in the development of the LCAP is to solicit input from parents, teachers, students, local bargaining units, staff and other community members in regards to what they think would be the most effective goals for implementation in our schools toward reaching state priorities. Toward this end, Horizon implemented surveys and invited participation at local board meetings and regional events.
