Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)

The Local Control and Accountability Plan sets out the goals a school has for its students, the actions planned to reach them, and how funds are used to support that work. Two plans apply at Canyon.

Canyon is an LAUSD-affiliated charter school and operates under California Education Code § 47606.5 and § 52060 et seq. Printed copies of either plan are available on request from the main office at 310.454.7510.

The ELO-P plan describes how Canyon provides before-school, after-school and intersession programming that supports students academically, socially and physically. State law requires the plan to be approved by the governing board in a public meeting and posted on the school website.

Details of Canyon’s ELOP after-school program, including the application, are on the After-School Programs page. Printed copies are available on request from the main office at 310.454.7510.
