    Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Summary – 2018-2019

    We are very proud of our district’s LCAP developed for the 2018-2019 school year. Intentionally narrow in its scope with a focus on teaching and learning, it carries forward our key initiatives to maintain excellent programs with high quality instructional practices across our schools.  

    The LCAP is driven by the MVSD Strategic Plan, which serves as the guiding plan for our district. The LCAP’s two goals mirror those of the strategic plan. The LCAP’s seven actions are based upon content from our strategic plan and content from our previous LCAP. Here is a summary of the 2018-2019 LCAP’s goals and actions:

    In the development of the LCAP, we engaged the community in an ongoing, thorough, and thoughtful process that involved 30+ in-person meetings with various stakeholder groups and by gathering written feedback from online surveys completed by parents, community members and MVSD staff. These stakeholder engagement opportunities offered different viewpoints and a broad spectrum of ideas to be considered for the LCAP, as well as valuable suggestions to enhance the practices in our schools.

    With the LCAP and Strategic Plan as the drivers of our work, we look forward to continuing to serve our district’s mission of providing our students with an excellent education that enables all students to achieve academic success and reach their full potential.
