8. CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Local Control Funding Formula Principles The LCFF fundamentally changed how California funds Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) and holds them accountable for student success. California now funds school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education equally per student with adjustments based on grade levels and student characteristics. LCFF replaces complicated, restrictive system with local flexibility, equity, transparency, and performance. 8

9. CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION LCFF Accountability Components Districts develop, adopt and implement 3-year Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs) to improve student performance. Beginning in 2015, districts provide annual updates on progress toward student goals. Concurrently, CA adopted a new system of support and technical assistance for districts and counties, guided by evaluation rubrics. Builds on a continuous improvement model of accountability. 9
