Plans
Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a tool for local educational agencies to set goals, actions, services, and leverage resources to support positive student outcomes that address local and state priorities. The LCAP provides an opportunity for local educational agencies (LEAs) to share their stories of how, what, and why programs and services are selected to meet their local needs.
Senate Bill 98 (SB 98) established the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (Learning Continuity Plan), which is intended to balance the needs of all stakeholders, including educators, parents, students and community members, while streamlining meaningful stakeholder engagement and condensing several preexisting plans. The Learning Continuity Plan replaces the LCAP for the 2020–21 school year and supersedes the requirements in Executive Order N-56-20. This plan is intended to memorialize the planning process that is already underway for the 2021–22 school year. All LEAs, which includes school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools are required to complete the Learning Continuity Plan.
Since November 1988, state law has required that schools receiving state funding to prepare and distribute a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The purpose of the report card is to provide parents and the community with important information about each school. A SARC can be an effective way for a school to report on its progress in achieving goals.
The Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) Grant provides local educational agencies (LEAs) the opportunity to provide supplemental instruction and support to students, including those identified as needing academic, social-emotional, and other supports, including the provision of meals and snacks and accelerate the safe return to in-person instruction. The California Department of Education (CDE) estimated local education agency (LEA) allocations from the $6.6 billion made available as part of the Assembly Bill (AB) 86 COVID-19 relief package. Funds allocated must be spent by August 31, 2022.

The purpose of the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools (NCSOS) Comprehensive School Safety Plan is to identify and respond to incidents by outlining the responsibilities and duties of NCSOS and its employees. Developing, maintaining, and exercising the plan empowers employees in an incident to act quickly and knowledgeably. In addition, the plan educates staff, faculty, students, and other key stakeholders on their roles and responsibilities before, during, and after an incident. This plan provides parents and other members of the community with assurances that NCSOS has established guidelines and procedures to respond to incidents/hazards in an effective way. NCSOS serves as a resource to the schools in Nevada County in efforts to update their plans with best practices.
