LCAP

In February and March, Poway Unified School District (PUSD) conducted its annual survey to gather input from high school students, staff, and families. Your feedback plays a vital role in shaping our District’s goals and guiding our budgeting priorities for the 2025–2026 school year.

We appreciate everyone who took the time to share their perspectives. The survey responses provided valuable insights aligned with our three Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals. Below is an overview of the results followed by links to interactive web reports for each survey.

Participants highlighted the importance of creating a supportive and welcoming school climate:

• Learning Environment: Ensuring safe campuses, well-maintained facilities, and nutritious school meals.

• Social Emotional Learning (SEL): Expanding access to mental health resources, promoting empathy and respect, and addressing bullying.

• Inclusive Practices: Prioritizing inclusivity by meeting diverse student needs and making sure all students feel seen, heard, and valued.

Feedback pointed to the importance of strong staffing and robust student support systems:

• Qualified Staff: The need for passionate, well-trained educators who uphold high academic standards and deliver personalized learning experiences.

• Programs and Resources: Continued investment in programs and resources such as tutoring, extracurricular activities, supportive policies, and effective scheduling.

• Staffing Ratios: Concerns about class sizes and ensuring staffing is efficient and aligned with student needs.

Building strong, collaborative partnerships remains essential:

• Communication: Participants highlighted the importance of consistent, clear communication about student progress, school and district events, and transparency around important or sensitive issues.

• Parental Involvement: Participants expressed an interest in more opportunities for families to actively engage in school life and decision-making processes.

This year, we asked everyone to answer the following question: “What existing or additional school programs or specific supports should we prioritize to ensure our students' future success?"
