The LCAP matters because it’s the district’s three-year planning document for how it will pursue district goals and priorities, what actions and services it will provide, and how expenditures are expected to support positive student outcomes.

What an LCAP is (and how to use it)

The district describes the Local Control and Accountability Plan as “a three-year plan” that lays out goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student outcomes—while addressing state and local priorities.

For families, the practical takeaway is straightforward: if you want to understand what the district is planning to do (and the “how and why” behind those choices), start with the approved LCAP and its companion documents.

June 16: public hearing on the proposed budget and LCAP

Moreno Valley Unified scheduled a public hearing on the proposed 2026-27 budget and LCAP for June 16, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The district’s notice says the hearing was held at the Moreno Valley Unified School District Community Education Center, in the Board Room.

That same notice also explains the timeline in plain terms: the June 16 hearing was the opportunity for community members to share their comments on the proposed budget before the Governing Board considered adoption on June 23, 2026.

For residents who prefer to review materials in person, the district’s notice states that a hard copy of the proposed budget and LCAP was available for public review at the Community Education Center from June 9, 2026 through June 12, 2026.

What changed on June 23: approved LCAP and federal addendum now posted

On June 23, 2026, the district posted the approved 2026-2027 LCAP with a “board approved 6/23/2026” label on its LCAP page. The same page also lists the companion LCAP Federal Addendum for 2026-27 as “board approved 6/23/2026.”

In other words, June 23 wasn’t just another meeting date—it’s the point at which the district moved from the “proposed budget and LCAP” stage into the “approved documents” stage that families can review as the district’s roadmap for 2026-27.

What families and taxpayers should watch next

After adoption, the key is follow-through: the LCAP is where the district lays out its intended goals, actions, and services for the school year. Families can use the approved documents as a baseline to understand what the district said it would prioritize.

To stay current, keep an eye on subsequent MVUSD Board reporting tied to the LCAP and budget cycle. The district’s board calendars show regular board meetings bracketed by June 16 and June 23, which is when you’ll typically find updates and posted materials connected to that planning timeline.

If you’re new to how school finance planning works, the simplest starting point is the district’s LCAP page: it’s the hub where the approved LCAP and the federal addendum are posted for the 2026-27 cycle.

In a public notice posted June 10, 2026, the board says it will hold a public hearing on Monday, June 22, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. The hearing will be held in person at 175 Fairview Lane, Sonora, CA 95370, Room 217, with participation also offered via Zoom.

What the board is hearing on

The notice says the public hearing is being held under Education Code 52062 to solicit recommendations and comments on the specific actions and expenditures proposed for inclusion in the 2026-2027 LCAP and the 2026-2027 Budget.

When and where to attend

Per the notice, the hearing is scheduled as part of the board’s regular meeting on June 22, at 4:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable.

How to review the LCAP and budget documents

The notice states that the LCAP and budget will be available for public inspection at least 72 hours before the public hearing at the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools Office (175 Fairview Lane, Sonora). To set up an appointment to view the documents, residents are instructed to contact Zack Abernathy at 209-536-2010 or zabernathy@tcsos.us.

The notice also lists three posting locations where documents can be inspected: the TCSOS office, the Summerville Elementary School District office, and the Jamestown School District office.

How to provide public comment

For people who can’t attend in person, the notice says public comment can be submitted by emailing zabernathy@tcsos.us regarding the proposed 2026-2027 LCAP and/or the 2026-2027 Budget.

What happens next after the hearing

The June 22 session is the public hearing on the proposed LCAP and budget. The notice says the board will consider adopting the 2026-2027 LCAP and 2026-2027 Budget at a subsequent board meeting on Tuesday, June 23, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. in a hybrid format.

For statewide context, California’s LCAP requirements include developing and adopting the LCAP at a public meeting on or before July 1 each year—so this June hearing and June 23 consideration fits that annual timeline.
