4. Local Control Funding Formula
Districts receive funding based upon student demographics (base and supplemental).
In July 2013, the state approved a new funding model for education.
The first major change in 40 years.
The spirit of the funding:
a. Equitable base funding for all students,
b. Local flexibility to meet the unique needs of each district,
c. Clear focus on funding to provide resources for English Learners, Economically disadvantaged students and foster youth.
The LCAP – local control accountability plan – holds the district accountable for the new funding.

5. The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) requires districts to:
Demonstrate district wide (all members) participation
Create district goals that include the eight state priorities.
Create an action plan that meets the needs of all students, English Learners, socio-economically disadvantaged students and other at-risk student groups.
Collect student achievement information to hold the plan accountable for meeting student needs and the proper use of funding.

6. The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP):
Tells the District’s Story

8. Data Overview WSD Quality Snapshot CA Dashboard Document Review:
1. Look at the section areas
2. Talk with a partner
3. Share at your table
After deciding how the LCAP development process will go, we also look at what data will be used to measure our goals.
One local document that is created is the WSD Quality Snapshot. This document has academic data as well as non-academic data. (Review the handout)
The new state data is included in the CA Dashboard. The handout provided gives you information about the Dashboard on one side and links and QR code to go directly to the website on the other side.
The website is also available in Spanish. There are information tools, like videos.
