Item: Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) – Local Indicators

Other state priorities require local methods (local indicators) of measuring progress on the state’s eight priorities. 

• The State Board of Education (SBE) approved standards for the local indicators districts may use in measuring and reporting progress within the appropriate priority area. The approved performance standards require a local educational agency (LEA) to: 
• Annually measure progress on the local performance indicator based on locally available data. 
• Report results at a public meeting of the local governing board. 
• Report results to the public through the Dashboard.
