LCUSD’s 3-year DEI Implementation Plan calls for reporting on progress at the end of each year to the community and sharing the feedback with the DEI Oversight Committee. This year, the committee approved collecting feedback via a Zoom presentation and sharing the results at the DEI OC May 11th meeting. The Zoom presentation took place on May 2, 2023, and there were over twenty parents at the meeting. At the end of the presentation, the administration invited parents to ask questions and share their thoughts and concerns.
