On June 29, 2020, Governor Newsom approved Senate Bill 98 (SB 98), establishing the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (Learning Continuity Plan), which is intended to balance the needs of all stakeholders while streamlining meaningful stakeholder engagement and condensing several preexisting plans. This is a new report that is required from all school districts, combining the intent behind Executive Order N-56-20, which extended the deadline for the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), and the ongoing need for districts to formally plan for the 2020–21 school year.   SB 98 also separates the development and adoption of the Budget Overview for Parents from the development and adoption of the LCAP for the 2020–21 school year. 

 

The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan include descriptions of the following: addressing gaps in learning; conducting meaningful stakeholder engagement; maintaining transparency; addressing the needs of unduplicated pupils, students with unique needs, students experiencing homelessness; providing access to necessary devices and connectivity for distance learning; providing resources and supports to address student and staff mental health and social-emotional well-being; and continuing to provide school meals for students.
