As key partners in the Statewide System of Support, we at CCEE want to emphasize the critical phase we are entering with the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the introduction of the Learning Recovery Emergency Block Grant (LREBG).

The LREBG is designed to support a broad array of initiatives through the 2027-28 school year. These include expanding educational courses, enhancing mental health support, and providing critical college and career counseling—all essential for fostering both academic success and emotional well-being in our students.

LEAs are now mandated to develop a thorough needs assessment for using these funds, focusing particularly on students who require significant learning recovery support. This includes reviewing academic performance in English and math, as well as addressing high levels of chronic absenteeism. By integrating these assessments with the LCAP development, LEAs can strengthen the continuous improvement processes to create more effective and responsive educational programs.

Tools within the SSOS, such as the Needs Assessment and Evidenced-Based Resources workbook, developed by the Geographic Leads, is available to support county offices of education and school districts collaborating on LCAP development. This workbook is designed to help LEAs collect data, assess needs accurately, and identify effective interventions. As we move forward with the implementation of the LREBG, it is crucial for superintendents and other educational leaders to embrace these requirements. By prioritizing continuous improvement, we ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of our educational strategies.

With a commitment to data-driven decision-making and strategic use of funding, we aim to significantly advance our educational objectives. This focus will bolster our educational systems and increase our capacity to serve all students effectively and fairly.
