The Local Control Funding Formula & Local Control Accountability Plan Board Workshop 2/3/14

What is the Local Control Funding Formula? California dramatically reformed its school reform process in July, 2013. The new law, known as the Local Control Funding Formula or LCFF, replaces our previous funding system.

Basic Points of the LCFF It became law in July, 2013 A majority of the funding districts receive is distributed through the LCFF It represents a great investment in Education by the State $2 billion for implementation during the first year alone Implementation will take 8 years, with projected completion during the 2020-21 school year Each district will receive at least the same funding received during the 2007-08 school year once implementation is complete No district will receive less than the amount received during the 2007-08 school year

What is Local Control Accountability Plan? A robust accountability process which is necessary to ensure that program funding improves student achievement Each district must develop a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) before July 1, 2014.
