Big data, ballgames & a kick-off read-in: Highlights for Jan. 26 - Feb. 1, 2016 Link to this section
With all the variables that go into making schools great for every child, there is a lot of data to look at. That’s where a new plan required by the State of California called the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) comes in. The LCAP is where SFUSD identifies its annual priorities for student success, puts them into action, and then measures its progress. That information is used to update the next year’s plan. The LCAP reflects the input gathered through many conversations with parents and educators, as well as research about ways to address our most pressing challenges. SFUSD will be presenting “Telling the Story Behind the Numbers: Making Sense of District Data” this week to the public.
When: Wednesday, Jan. 27 / 6:30-8:00 p.m.
Where: SFUSD Board Room / 555 Franklin Street
