Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan
Senate Bill 98, approved by Governor Newsom on 6.29.20, made several key changes to accountability requirements for 2020-21. These include the establishment of a new requirement – The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan – that must be adopted by 9.30.20.
The California Department of Education (CDE) has released the draft template for the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan as well as a comparison of this plan to the LCAP. CDE expects to release the final template during the week of July 27th.

Following is a summary of the key components to be included in the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan:
