LCAP SURVEY
The link below is our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) educational partner engagement process. We always make a concerted effort to involve our partners to the greatest extent possible and the annual LCAP Survey is one way we gain input from students, families, staff, and community members. The survey will be open for feedback until Friday, February 20, 2026. Your voice matters and we hope you will take a few minutes to provide input on how our schools are meeting the needs of students and encourage others to do the same. The survey is anonymous, but the results and comments are reviewed and read by the LCAP Committee to support decision-making.

Our program serves historically disadvantaged students, low-income students, first generation college students, English language learners and other high school students for whom a smooth transition into postsecondary education can be challenging.
Ghidotti staff and students are committed to fulfilling our Schoolwide Learning Outcomes.
