The Categorical Programs and Grants department provides technical support for state and federal funded programs. Our support includes assistance, resources, and training for the following:
After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs)
The department manages and leads the work and development for the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the LCAP Federal Addendum (LEA-Plan). Federal Program Monitoring (FPM) review is another area of responsibility.
The cornerstone of these efforts is the development of each school's Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Each of the schools have a dedicated leadership team that includes classified personnel, teachers, administrators, parents, and students. This diverse group, called the School Site Council (SSC), works together to create the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). The SSC evaluates the school's needs and then strategizes and implements ways to serve the academic needs of the students. The SSC continuously monitors the implementation of the LCAP and SPSA and the impact it has on the academic progress of students. These plans help meet the state and federal mandates and Local Education Agency's (LEA) initiatives.
