4. ABOUT LCFF AND LCAP

5. HOW THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) WORKS
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.
BASE
GRANTS
SUPPLEMENTAL
GRANTS
CONCENTRATION
GRANTS
Every student generates a base grant, which funds basic educational costs, such as teacher salaries, retirement costs, instructional materials, etc.
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.
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.

6. THE LOCAL CONTROL & ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAPS)
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.
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*:
Basic Services
Implementation of standards
Parental engagement
Student achievement
Student engagement
School climate
Access to courses
Other student outcomes
* For county offices of education there are 2 additional priorities: (9) Instruction for Expelled Youth and (10) Foster Youth Services
