LCAP Reports and Community Forums

From February 1 through February 15, 2019, PUSD will conduct our annual survey to gather stakeholder input on our Local Control Accountability Plan, or LCAP, which will shape the District’s goals and guide our budgeting priorities for 2019-2020. We want to hear from parents, students, staff, and community members! Please watch this video where Superintendent Marian Kim Phelps explains the importance of LCAP participation. 

To make it as easy and convenient as possible to participate, we’re using a new online tool called Thoughtexchange that you can access right from your smartphone or computer. Your responses are confidential, and you can respond with as few or as many different thoughts as you’d like. After sharing your own thoughts, you’ll be asked to consider and assign stars to the ideas shared by others, to discover what’s most important to our community.

Directions:

• Select your specific school site (if you are a parent with kids at multiple schools, feel free to join the exchange at each of these sites because the conversations will be different at each school)
• You do not have to sign up/log in if you don’t want to. Just click “Continue” to participate without signing in. One benefit to signing in is the system keeps track where you left off in the process if you want to come back.
• Answer all of the demographic questions under "Tell us about yourself."
• Click on “What are the most important things to focus on as we continue our work to support all students?
• Start to share your thoughts in response to the question. Remember, you can share as many separate thoughts as you’d like, but share only one thought per bubble and explain why each thought is important before moving on to share another thought.
• Once you’ve shared your thoughts, the next step is Star. If you’re one of the first people to join at your site, be patient. The system needs a minimum number of thoughts before the Star step can be triggered. Once you’re in the Star stage, consider and rate the thoughts of others using one to five stars. The more you agree with or like another person’s thought, the more stars you assign.
• If you see any thoughts that are inappropriate or attack a specific individual, please report them by clicking on the three dots on the upper right of the thought.
• When enough participants have shared and starred thoughts, you will be able to Discover the top thoughts.
• During our open survey period, from February 1-February 15, 2019, you can come back to Thoughtexchange as often as you’d like to participate, and in fact, we ask that you do come back to some of the new ideas that have been shared since you first participated.

Thoughtexchange is essentially a virtual conversation, where you can share your thoughts, see the thoughts of others in your school community, and prioritize the thoughts most important to you. Look for an email next week to walk you through the participation process. For a one-minute overview of how it works go here. For the answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Thoughtexchange, go here for FAQs.
