| The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) is now the plan for local education agencies (LEAs) to meet the requirements of Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Under No Child Left Behind (NCLB), local planning provisions were addressed through the LEA Plan. Based on the latest guidance from the US Department of Education regarding local planning requirements, as of January 2017, LEAs eligible for federal funds are not required to submit a new LEA plan during the 2017-18 transition year but are required to submit certifications of the required ESSA assurances through the Consolidated Application Reporting System (CARS) during the 2017 Spring collection period. Additionally, LEAs are responsible for keeping their LEA plans updated through the use of the LCAP Addendum, which is the mechanism for LEAs to use during this transition year to meet the ESSA local planning requirements in the context of LCAP development. The LCAP addendum is meant to supplement the LCAP to ensure that eligible LEAs have the opportunity to meet the local educational agency (LEA) plan provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) during this transition year. LEAs are not required to submit this addendum for the 2016-17 school year. The District has decided to update the LEA Addendum to document the work of teachers, school and district administrators. |

| Recommend the Board of Trustees approve the 2017-2018 LEA Plan Addendum. |
