On June 29, 2020, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 98 (SB 98) into law. SB 98 mandates the creation of a Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP) in lieu of the 2020-21 Local Control Accountability Plan which was originally required by the Governor’s Executive Order N-56-20 in April 2020.
The Learning Continuity Plan (LCP)
The LCP is intended to balance the needs of all stakeholders, including educators, parents, students and community members and the ongoing need for Districts to formally plan to return to school in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic without requiring two plans (an LCAP and LCP).
Included in the LCP
The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan template memorializes the planning process already underway for the 2020–21 school year and includes descriptions of the following:
* How District's conducted meaningful stakeholder engagement
* The plan for in-person instruction
* The plan for Distance Learning
* How the District is providing access to necessary devices and connectivity for distance learning
* How the District is monitoring Pupil Participation and Progress
* The plan for Professional Development and description of any new positions added to support efforts to return to school
* How the District is addressing the needs of unduplicated pupils, students with unique needs, and students experiencing homelessness
* How the District is measuring and addressing pupil learning loss
* How the District is providing resources and supports to address student and staff mental health and social emotional well-being
* How the District will continue to provide school meals for students
* How the District is Increasing or Improving services for Foster Youth, English Learners, and Low-Income Students
