SUMMER LEARNING IN LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLANS

The Partnership for Children & Youth reviewed Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs) from 50 Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in 2015 to understand district investment in summer programming. The 50 LEAs include 20/25 (80%) of the largest LEAs in California and at least one LEA from 33/58 (56%) of counties in California. This research builds on a 2014 LCAP review, and includes 40 of the same LEAs reviewed last year and 10 new LEAs.
