Local Performance Indicator Self-Reflection
The State Board of Education (SBE) approved standards for the local indicators that support local educational agencies (LEAs) in measuring and reporting their progress within the appropriate priority area. For each local indicator, the performance standards are as follows:
- Annually measure its progress in meeting the requirements of the specific LCFF priority; and
- Report the results as part of a non-consent item at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the local governing board/body in conjunction with the adoption of the LCAP; and
- Report results to the public through the Dashboard utilizing the SBE-adopted self-reflection tools for each local indicator.
An LEA uses the SBE-adopted self-reflection tools to report its progress through the Dashboard. The collection and reflection on locally available information relevant to progress regarding local priority areas will support LEAs in completing the self-reflection tools, reporting in the Dashboard, and in local planning and improvement efforts. Provided an LEA satisfies the performance standards for each local indicator, the Dashboard will automatically assign a performance level of Met. If an LEA does not meet the performance standards, the Dashboard will automatically assign a performance level of Not Met or Not Met for Two or More Years, as applicable.
Local Performance Indicator Self-Reflection
La Junta Estatal de Educación (SBE) aprobó estándares para los indicadores locales que apoyan a las agencias educativas locales (LEA) en la medición e informe de su progreso dentro del área prioritaria apropiada. Para cada indicador local, las normas de desempeño son las siguientes:
- Medir anualmente su progreso en el cumplimiento de los requisitos de la prioridad específica de la LCFF; y
- Informar de los resultados como parte de un asunto no consensuado en una reunión pública programada regularmente del consejo/órgano gubernamental local junto con la adopción del LCAP; y
- Informar los resultados al público a través del Tablero utilizando las herramientas de autorreflexión adoptadas por el SBE para cada indicador local.
Una LEA utiliza las herramientas de autorreflexión adoptadas por el SBE para informar su progreso a través del Tablero. La obtención y reflexión de la información disponible a nivel local relevante al progreso de las áreas prioritarias locales apoyará a la LEA a completar las herramientas de autorreflexión, a reportar en el Tablero y a los esfuerzos locales de planificación y mejora. Siempre que una LEA satisfaga los estándares de desempeño para cada indicador local, el Tablero asignará automáticamente un nivel de desempeño de Cumplido. Si una LEA no cumple con los estándares de desempeño, el Tablero asignará automáticamente un nivel de desempeño de No Cumplido o No Cumplido por dos o más años, según corresponda.

Prop 28: Arts and Music in Schools
On November 8, 2022, California voters approved Proposition 28: The Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act. The measure required the state to establish a new, ongoing program supporting arts instruction in schools beginning in 2023–24. The legislation allocates 1 percent of the kindergarten through grade twelve (K–12) portion of the Proposition 98 funding guarantee provided in the prior fiscal year, excluding funding appropriated for the AMS education program. Local educational agencies (LEAs) with 500 or more students are required to ensure that at least 80 percent of AMS funds to be expended are used to employ certificated or classified employees to provide arts education program instruction. The remaining funds must be used for training, supplies and materials, and arts educational partnership programs, with no more than 1 percent of funds received to be used for an LEA’s administrative expenses. The full text of the statute is available here: Chapter 5.1 of Part 6 of Division 1 of Title 1 of the Education Code.
Thanks to ongoing funding from the state of California through Prop 28, we’ve had the opportunity to expand arts and music education throughout our district, preschool through 12th grade, plus VAPA support for our adult transition program called Roy Johnson at Redwood High School.
Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) Prompts
New Haven Unified is required to post its approved 2023–24 CSI Prompts to the same local LEA web page that the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan, Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), LCAP Federal Addendum, and/or other planning documents are posted. Additionally, the California Department of Education (CDE) strongly encourages New Haven Unified to post its CSI Plan/s/ on this same web page to provide more transparency in the outcomes of the planning process for New Haven Unified CSI-eligible schools.
Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Funds
School districts, county offices of education, or charter schools, collectively known as LEAs, that receive Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds under the American Rescue Plan Act, referred to as ESSER III funds, are required to develop a plan for how they will use their ESSER III funds. In the plan, an LEA must explain how it intends to use its ESSER III funds to address students’ academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs, as well as any opportunity gaps that existed before, and were worsened by, the COVID-19 pandemic. An LEA may also use its ESSER III funds in other ways, as detailed in the Fiscal Requirements section of the Instructions. In developing the plan, the LEA has flexibility to include community input and/or actions included in other planning documents, such as the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), provided that the input and actions are relevant to the LEA’s Plan to support students.
