As the February 28 deadline for the LCAP Mid-Year Update approaches, LEA (county, district, and charter) leadership teams across California are preparing to present required updates on LCAP outcomes, implementation progress, and expenditures as part of a non-consent board agenda item.

While local boards are not required to adopt the mid-year update, the presentation is a critical moment for public transparency, continuous improvement progress, and strategic course-setting for the remainder of the school year.

To support county offices of education, school districts, and charter schools in meeting this requirement with clarity and purpose, the LCAP Monitoring & Evaluation Tracking Tool, developed by the Riverside County Office of Education, offers a practical way to organize mid-year outcome data and track implementation and expenditures aligned to the current year’s LCAP.

Getting Started with the Tool:

• Tutorial Video: Watch a comprehensive guide to understand how to utilize the tool’s full capabilities.
• Download the Tool: Access is available directly on our website, allowing leaders to begin tracking and evaluating their LCAP actions to report what is/is not working and why.
• Example Application: Review practical examples to see how the tool can be effectively applied.
• Recorded Webinar: Learn from Lake Elsinore USD experiences using the LCAP Mid-Year tool.

In addition, San Diego County Office of Education has curated a comprehensive set of Mid-Year Update resources, including a recorded webinar, presentation slides, legal references, optional templates, and guidance related to Learning Recovery Block Grant (LREBG) considerations for 2025–26.

• LCAP Mid-Year Resource Page: Access aligned tools, examples, and training to support transparency, decision-making, and continuous improvement at the mid-year point.
• Recorded Webinar: Supports leaders in understanding mid-year update requirements and using available data to inform transparency and decision-making.
• Presentation Slides: Review step-by-step guidance on required mid-year outcome, implementation, and expenditure reporting to support clear board presentations.

As February 28 approaches, these resources help LEA leaders strengthen clarity, transparency, and decision-making at the mid-year point.
