Post the approved LCAP prominently on the LEA homepage

Website posting does not establish Dashboard upload

EC 52065(c) separately requires posting the current LCAP on the Dashboard. Keep the public website, reviewer submission and Dashboard upload records separate. The exact September 14–October 9, 2026 upload window is not verified here as a CDE-issued statewide window. Dashboard upload obligation, entity pathways and pending window.

Targeted conflict review completed October 21, 2026. Earlier source stamps describe the earlier review scope.

In Plain Language: Publish the approved LCAP package through a prominent homepage link that families and community members can find without knowing the district’s internal department structure.

Post the Federal Addendum on the LCAP webpage

For an LEA with an applicable LCAP Federal Addendum, post the addendum on the same webpage as the LCAP, including locally adopted revisions to the CDE/SBE-approved plan. CDE identifies EC 52065 and 47606.5(i) as the posting authorities.

Recommended publication check: identify the latest approved/adopted versions, place the current addendum and complete LCAP/BOP package together, label dates clearly, test both links without administrator access and retain the public URLs. Annual local review/revision does not by itself require resubmission of a previously approved addendum to CDE.

Why this matters

A file technically present somewhere on a website is not the same as a prominent, usable public posting. The online copy must remain accessible, current, and complete.

Primary ownership

Primary owner: communications/web owner with the LCAP lead. Partners: superintendent’s office, business services, accessibility lead, language-access staff, and records staff.

From the approved LCAP to a findable homepage posting: the SDLA ITO workflow

Families should reach the LCAP without knowing how the district is organized. This SDLA ITO (Input, Transformation, Output) graphic shows how the approved LCAP package, its accessible versions, and the Budget Overview for Parents become the approved files and URLs, the test evidence, and the change log and archive.

SDLA ITO: eleven steps from the approved LCAP package, its accessible versions, and the Budget Overview for Parents, through locking files, creating the link, posting, and testing, to the approved files and URLs, the test evidence, and the change log and archive. — **Read down each column, then move to the next:** Input identifies what to collect; Transformation covers locking files, creating the link, posting, and testing; Output covers the approved files and URLs, the test evidence, and the change log and archive. Post after governing-board approval, and set up recurring checks.
