What is the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)?
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) is the new method of funding for public schools. School districts are funded through a base grant for every student (adjusted by grade level). Additional supplemental grants are provided for students (unduplicated pupils) defined as low-income students, English Learners, and Foster Youth. Districts receive additional concentration grants when the amount of these students make up more than 55% of total enrollment.
What is the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)?
As part of the LCFF, school districts are required to develop, adopt, and annually update a three-year Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The LCAP consists of how funds will be spent to provide a high quality educational program through annual goals, actions and services for implementing those goals, and progress monitoring of the goals, actions, and services based on the eight priorities set by the state.
As the district develops the LCAP annually, we are required to solicit input from/consult with all stakeholders (teachers, principals, administrators, other school personnel, local bargaining units, parents, and pupils). We value the input of all stakeholders and encourage you to join us in developing our LCAP. This can be done through: completing the online survey, attending site/district meetings, or communicating with site/district administrators.
