The state's revised funding structure, the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), requires districts to annually approve a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) with input from all educational partner groups. The LCAP document connects the district budget and spending to district goals and initiatives. Our engagement process includes an LCAP Advisory Committee, made up of six different educational partner groups - Classified staff, Certificated staff, Administrators, Parents, Students, and Community leaders/representatives. The committee meets for three full days during the Spring and is tasked to help measure our schools' progress, identify district priorities, and inform the development of the Local Control Accountability Plan. In addition to our LCAP committee meetings, our process includes a survey of all stakeholder groups and other engagement activities. The input from these channels is brought to the table and processed within our LCAP committee as well as by site and district leaders. The primary outcome of the process is to identify spending priorities based on the collective needs of the district.
Here are just a couple testimonials from the 24/25 school year:
"NPA was a breath of fresh air for my Daughter. She attended the big local highschool and by her senior year we realized there might be something better out there. NPA has been nothing but amazing. The one on one attention she receives has helped her excel farther than she ever would have gotten in the local high school. Everyone at NPA has been helpful and supportive. I would recommend NPA to anyone that is searching for a different approach to High School."
"North Point Academy was a god send for my daughter and I; She was unhappy and struggling at another site and was not getting any special attention when it came to becoming successful in school. We would highly recommend NPA for anyone interested in alternative education compared to formal education, they really do care about their students, and her teacher, Julie Coffin, is absolutely amazing and wonderful. Thanks again NPA!"
