The La Cañada Unified School District (“District”) is the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for Palm Crest Elementary School Modernization Project. The District has prepared an Initial Study to determine the environmental effects of the proposed project and finds issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate level of CEQA environmental review.

Every year, school districts are required to present progress on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals as well as share updates made to the plan. Since schools across the County, including La Canada Unified School District were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Executive Order N-56-20 was established to deal with the changes to the LCAP. This Executive Order issued timeline and approval waivers for the LCAP and also required school districts to adopt a written report; the COVID-19 Operations Written Report, explaining to its community the changes in program offerings made in response to the school closures.
