Town hall meeting to discuss SUSD's Local Control and Accountability Plan
By Dick Sheppard
Sanger Herald
Vecinos Unidos (Neigh- bors United) is hosting a town hall meeting from
6-8 p.m. today, April 25, to discuss the school district's Local Control and Account- ability Plan (LCAP).
Lourdes Oliva who heads
Vecinos Unidos, said associ- ate superintendent Tim Lo- pez and other school district staff will be at the meeting to answer questions.
The plan is being written "now" because it has to be approved next month, said Adela Jones, superintendent of Sanger Schools.
"We had the majority of our community input done in the fall. There was an elec- tronic survey that went out to all community members, staff and students, as well
as the time we spent at par- ent conferences. The LCAP Guidance Committee has the information and is prioritiz-
ing it at their meetings," said Jones.
Vecinos Unidos has a rep- resentative on the commit- tee, said Jones.
Oliva said Vecinos Uni- dos, funded by the Dolores Huerta Foundation, is hoping several things can be includ- ed in the district plan: more
academic counselors; more funds for summer school en- richment/ remediation; more funds for ESL resources; a Parents' Academy for parent- ing lessons about ESL and students' and parents' rights; and, more family/school events.
The meeting at the Veci-
nos Unidos hall at the corner of 7th and O streets is open to the public. 'There will be raffle prizes, food and mu- sic," said Oliva.
