REVIEW!!

8. What is the LCAP?
The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a critical part of the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF).
Under the LCFF the school district must engage parents, educators, employees, and the community to prepare the LCAP which describes how we intend to meet annual goals for all pupils.

9. What is the LCAP?
The LCAP should describe the school district’s overall vision for students, annual goals, and specific actions that will be taken to achieve the vision and goals.
The LCAP must focus on eight areas identified as state priorities.
The LCAP will demonstrate how the district’s budget will help achieve the goals and assess each year how well the strategies in the plan were able to improve outcomes.
