ABOUT LCFF AND LCAP 4

In 2013, California dramatically reformed the way it funds our public schools. LCFF established a funding system that provides school districts with base funding and additional funds based on how many low-income students, English learners, and foster youth they serve. HOW THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) WORKS BASE GRANTS Every student generates a base grant, which funds basic educational costs, such as teacher salaries, retirement costs, instructional materials, etc. SUPPLEMENTAL GRANTS Every student who is low-income, learning English, or in foster care generates 20% more funding above the base grant. These funds must be spent on increasing and improving services for these high-need student groups in order to improve their achievement. CONCENTRATION GRANTS In districts where at least 55% of students are high-need, those high- need students above the 55% enrollment threshold generate an extra 50% of the base grant. These funds must also be spent to increase or improve services for high-need students in order to improve their achievement. 5

All school districts must adopt a Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP), a 3-year plan for how districts will use state funds to serve all students. THE LOCAL CONTROL & ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAPS) Each district’s LCAP must include the following: Goals Actions Related expenditures LCAPs must include services that target each major student subgroup, including: Racial/ethnic subgroups Low-income students English learners Students with disabilities Foster youth Homeless youth LCAPs must address the 8 State Priorities*: 1.Basic Services 2.Implementation of standards 3.Parental engagement 4.Student achievement 5.Student engagement 6.School climate 7.Access to courses 8.Other student outcomes 6 * For county offices of education there are 2 additional priorities: (9) Instruction for Expelled Youth and (10) Foster Youth Services

THE TIMEFRAME TO DEVELOP THE LCAP District engages the community to solicit input on the LCAP. District and community assess student needs. Suggested District creates first draft of plan, incorporating community input. Suggested District presents proposed plan to parent advisory committees for feedback and input. Suggested District responds in writing to feedback from parent advisory committees and incorporates feedback into plan. Suggested School board adopts plan by July 1st in a public hearing. Required by Statute County office of education must approve district LCAPs by October 8th. Required by Statute Late Summer- Fall 2015 Winter 2016Spring 2016 July 1, 2016October 8,
