Think Digital, a division of Think Education, has announced the launch of Raly Report, an AI-powered platform designed to simplify and strengthen the development of the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for California educators and administrators.
Developed specifically for California school systems, Raly Report helps education leaders navigate the complex and time-intensive LCAP process by reducing manual work, improving accuracy and streamlining document development.
“Raly Report was built in close partnership with education leaders who understand the demands of this process,” said Matt Scharpnick, Chief of Innovation at Think Education. “The goal is to simplify the mechanics of LCAP development while preserving the integrity of the work, so leaders can focus on planning and outcomes.”
A requirement for all school systems in California, the LCAP serves as a key planning document that outlines district goals, actions, services and resource allocation intended to improve student outcomes. The process often requires extensive coordination across multiple data sources, evolving state requirements and detailed documentation.
Raly Report was created to help address common challenges associated with LCAP development, including administrative workload, repetitive manual tasks and the potential for errors that can delay county review and approval.
“We worked closely with experienced education leaders and LCAP experts throughout the development process to ensure Raly Report reflects the realities schools face every day,” added Scharpnick. “Their feedback and hands-on testing helped validate that the platform not only improves efficiency, but also supports the level of accuracy, transparency and strategic planning that districts need to confidently move through the LCAP process.
Key features of Raly Report include:
• Import of prior LCAPs to serve as a starting point
• Integration with California Dashboard data
• Guided prompts to support development of narrative sections
• Automated review of spelling, calculations and internal consistency
• Export of a formatted, submission-ready document
Think Education continues to expand its portfolio of leadership development, digital innovation, staffing services and expanded learning programmes while remaining deeply rooted in partnership with California public schools. Through continued investment in people, systems and collaboration, the organisation aims to help create inclusive, supportive learning environments where every student has access to all of life’s possibilities.
