What is the LCAP? 

Every federally funded local educational agency (LEA), must develop a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) to set goals, plan actions and leverage resources to help improve student outcomes. It is a 3-year plan that is updated annually.

NJB’s goals are listed below: 

Goal 1: A basic educational core will be provided in an environment that is safe, clean, and supportive.
