STAKEHOLDER FORUMS NOVEMBER – DECEMBER 2013 Local Control Accountability Plan

Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) The Local Control Funding Formula is California’s new school finance model to allocate funding from the state to local school districts. In the past, funds were allocated to specific purposes. Local districts had very little discretion in how to use the funds. 2

What Is Different? The LCAP provides districts with greater discretion in allocating state funding. The LCAP provides additional dollars for low-income children, English learners, and foster youth. 3

Local Control Accountability Plan Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a plan adopted by the district, in concert with the adoption of the budget. The plan is to be focused on District goals and actions to improve student performance. 4

Local Control Accountability Plan The LCAP reflects the goals that will be pursued based on the 8 state priorities outlined in the LCFF legislation, along with any locally adopted priorities. The LCAP is to be created after input has been obtained from stakeholders including students, parents, teachers, and staff. 5
