Local Efforts to Improve Schools

Advantages of detailed information being available to all parts of the school community and to the public:
• Improvement work within the education system is starting from shared, commonly defined information.
• Members of the public can “see for themselves.”
• Shared information is the basis for constructive conversations.
Transparency

Informing the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)
Data within the dashboard can identify problem areas, find bright spots, and start conversations. • This student group has much lower graduation rates • Math achievement seems to be a district-wide problem • School X is having the best results with English learners
Data helps your district and school create specific goals and measure progress toward goals • Reduce suspensions by 10% per year for 3 years • Raise college and career readiness by 5% per year
29
LCAP Cycles & Data
