Ventura Unified School District (VUSD) is inviting families, students, staff, and community members to participate in its annual Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Survey, an important tool used to help guide district priorities for the upcoming school year.
The LCAP Survey provides an opportunity for community members, including those without students currently enrolled in VUSD, to share feedback on how limited funding should be allocated and which programs, services, and supports should be prioritized to best serve students.
“Community input plays a critical role in shaping our planning and decision-making,” said Marieanne Quiroz, Director of Communications and Public Information Officer for Ventura Unified School District. “The feedback we receive helps inform how we focus our resources to best meet student needs.”
Responses to the survey will be used to inform the District’s Local Control Accountability Plan, which outlines goals, actions, and expenditures aligned with student achievement, school climate, and family and community engagement.
The survey is open now and takes only a few minutes to complete.
All students, families, staff and local City of Ventura community members are encouraged to participate by visiting:https://bit.ly/lcap2026
