This is Reed Union School District's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2026-27, covering how the district will spend $34.5 million in total funding. The district serves 1,076 students across three schools (Reed PK-2, Bel Aire 3-5, Del Mar 6-8). Key priorities include wellness and mental health support (hiring two new counselors, implementing SEL curriculum), continuing new PK-5 math curriculum rollout, and improving attendance for socioeconomically disadvantaged students and students with disabilities. The district receives $149,641 in supplemental funding for high-needs students and plans to spend $484,713 on targeted improvements. Recent successes include a Board-adopted Wellness Action Plan and increased English Learner reclassification rates through enhanced intervention support.

Families will see two new counselors added for student mental health support and a new social-emotional learning curriculum. The district is rolling out a new math program in elementary grades with parent education sessions. Students will have better progress reporting through MAP and reading screener results. The district is focusing on reducing chronic absences, especially for students with disabilities and low-income families, with earlier interventions when attendance concerns arise.
