Alignment of the Facilities Master Plan with the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)
The Facilities Master Plan directly supports the goals, actions, and services identified in the Perris Union High School District Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), particularly State Priority 1: Basic Services, which requires the District to provide students with safe, clean, functional, and well-maintained school facilities that support teaching and learning. The LCAP identifies four overarching goals focused on academic achievement, college and career readiness, safe and supportive learning environments, and meaningful family and community engagement. The Master Plan provides the physical infrastructure necessary to implement these goals and ensure equitable access to high-quality educational programs across the District.
The proposed facility improvements support the District's commitment to preparing students for post-secondary education and career opportunities by modernizing classrooms, science laboratories, engineering spaces, Career Technical Education (CTE) facilities, and specialized learning environments. The LCAP emphasizes the importance of expanding college and career readiness opportunities, increasing access to career pathways, strengthening CTE programs, and ensuring students graduate prepared for future employment and higher education. Facility improvements identified in the Master Plan provide the learning environments necessary to deliver these programs and support hands-on, project-based instruction aligned with workforce and postsecondary expectations.
The Master Plan also advances LCAP Goal 1 and Goal 2 by creating flexible, modern learning environments that support instructional innovation, collaboration, and student engagement. Upgraded classrooms, laboratories, technology infrastructure, and specialized instructional spaces support the District's efforts to improve academic achievement in English language arts and mathematics, strengthen instructional practices, and provide equitable access to rigorous educational opportunities for all students, including English learners, students with disabilities, foster youth, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students. The LCAP specifically identifies the need for enhanced instructional supports, intervention services, and expanded access to academic and career readiness programs; the proposed facility improvements provide the physical setting necessary for successful implementation of these strategies.
A significant component of the Master Plan focuses on maintaining facilities in good repair through the replacement or modernization of aging roofs, plumbing systems, electrical infrastructure, and other building systems. These improvements directly support State Priority 1 requirements and ensure that students and staff have access to safe, functional, and reliable learning environments. Maintaining school facilities in good repair is essential to supporting uninterrupted instruction, protecting District assets, and preserving equitable learning conditions across all campuses. The LCAP recognizes safe, clean, and functional facilities as a foundational condition necessary for student success and positive educational outcomes.
The proposed projects further align with LCAP Goal 3 by improving student safety, campus security, and emergency preparedness. Planned upgrades to security systems, campus infrastructure, site circulation, lighting, and related safety measures support the District's goal of providing safe and positive environments for all students and staff. The LCAP identifies school safety, student wellness, positive school climate, and supportive learning environments as critical factors in improving student attendance, engagement, and achievement. Facility improvements that enhance campus security and student well-being directly contribute to these objectives.
The Master Plan also supports equitable access to educational opportunities throughout the District. By investing in modern learning environments, career training facilities, and critical infrastructure improvements across school sites, the District is addressing the needs identified through stakeholder engagement and the LCAP development process. These investments ensure that all students, regardless of school location or student subgroup, have access to facilities that support current educational programs, evolving instructional practices, and future workforce demands.
The following matrix demonstrates the relationship between the proposed facilities improvements, State Priority 1 requirements, and the District's adopted LCAP goals, illustrating how facility investments support both the educational program and the long-term needs of students and the community.
In summary, the Facilities Master Plan serves as the physical implementation strategy for many of the District's educational priorities. The proposed projects support State Priority 1 by maintaining safe, clean, and functional facilities while advancing the District's LCAP goals related to academic achievement, college and career readiness, student safety, equity, and student success. Through these investments, the District will provide learning environments that enable the effective delivery of educational programs and support improved outcomes for all students.
