The document provides an overview of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) in California. It summarizes that the LCFF aims to provide more equitable and flexible school funding, especially for disadvantaged students, and the LCAP is meant to increase transparency and accountability through local goal-setting and reporting. Key points include that the LCFF will be phased in over 8 years, the 8 state priority areas that must be addressed in each LCAP, and the requirement that local districts involve stakeholders in developing their LCAPs.

- 16. LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) LCFF simply gets us to a target of 2007/08 funding over an eight year period. There will be many disparities among different districts. Comparability with other districts will be difficult to determine as some districts receive significantly more and others significantly less. Each District needs to determine what they can afford to remain solvent. 16

Editor's Notes
- This 2013-14 school year can be characterized by historic education reform in our nation and within our state. This past summer the California legislature adopted a new school finance model called the “Local Control Funding Formula or LCFF.” This is the first time our state has changed the school funding methodology in almost fifty years.
- This presentation will focus on:Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) which will be presented by Marysia and Jon.And, the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) which Mays and Gina will cover.Common Core State StandardsThe information shared comes from ACSA, Capitol Advisors, the California Department of Education, the California School Boards Association, the Legislative Analyst’s Office, and the State Board of Education.
- The State Board of Education has partnered with WestEd to provide information to LEAs regarding the LCFF and LCAP. WestEd has composed 6 educational videos of which we will share with you 3 of them during today’s presentation. These videos serve as great informational weblinks that can be added to your district or school websites.This first video clip is just over 3 minutes and is provides a definition of what LCFF is.
- As our state was deliberating the school finance reform movement they narrowed their focus on five key goals:Ensuring equity and additional resources for students with greater needs: a) Low-income students; b) English learners; and c) Foster youth.The desire for the state to support local decision-making.Developing a system of accountability.Providing transparency regarding school budgeting.And, aligning the budget with an accountability plan.With these educational goals in mind the Legislature established Assembly Bill 97, which was amended by Senate Bills 91 and 97 to enact the LCFF.
- What most people don’t know is that to fully fund the LCFF it would cost the state $18 billion. The 2013 State Budget provided just over $2 billion to begin implementation of the LCFF this school year.California hopes to gradually fund the LCFF over an 8 year period so that it is fully funded by 2020-2021.
- For over four decades California has funded education through a school finance model made up of a base revenue limit or common amount of funding for students in elementary and secondary school. Additionally, in the past, school districts have been provided over forty categorical or restricted funds for programs such as, but not limited, to fine arts and music programs, professional development, school counseling and class size reduction programs, and more. Our past practice has held school funding separate from student achievement and accountability plans.By comparison, our state’s new school funding model, the Local Control Funding Formula provides a base amount of funding for students per grade span. Additionally, supplemental and concentration funding is provided to support at risk student populations who are dealing with poverty, learning English, or are foster youth. Class size reduction funds are provided at grades TK-3, however the target class size has increased to 24 students:1 teacher, and this ratio is required to be phased in by 2020-2021. Finally, an accountability plan must be aligned to the school district’s funding expenditure plan.
- Although the guidelines for LCFF expenditures have yet to be released the State Board of Education is leaning towards allowing LCFF funds to be spent much like federal Title I funds can be spent in a schoolwide manner. SBE is also considering allowing LCFF expenditures on a districtwide, countywide, and charterwide manner.This would mean that the funds generated for the supplemental and concentration grants would not have to follow these certain students.
- The State Board of Education by January 2014 will update the standards and criteria for local budgets so they are include LCAP requirements, they plan to clarify LCFF spending regulations, and the Public School Accountability Act Advisory Committee will make recommendations regarding the Academic Performance Index, or API.The LCAP templates will be released by March 31, 2014. Interestingly, the SBE Board Agenda for this month has an agenda item which includes a draft template for the LCAP.By Oct 2015, the LCAP evaluation rubrics will be released.
- Mays and Gina will now provide an overview of the Local Control Accountability Plan or LCAP.
- We’ll begin by watching a brief WestEd video clip regarding what LEAs should be doing now to begin developing their LCAP plans.
- As you heard in the WestEd video clips there are 8 key components of the LCAP. These areas are:Student AchievementStudent EngagementSchool ClimateOther Student OutcomesCredentials and MaterialsParent InvolvementCourse AccessImplementation of the Common Core Standards
- The next two slides provide brief definitions for each of the 8 priority areas within the LCAP. Note that the credentials and materials priority area is heavily reliant on compliance with the Williams Act, which also has a facilities review component.Also, implementation of the Common Core Standards includes disclosure regarding how your district is providing English language learners access to the common core. There is also an expectation that ELD standards are embedded within your curriculum for EL students. The LCAP places emphasis on LEAs seeking parent input on district and school decisions.
- If your district receives federal Title I funds then your district already has a required LEA Plan which analyzes student achievement data and establishes SMART goals for pupil achievement of all students and specific subgroups. The development of the LCAP plan allows for districts to use existing plans such as the LEA Plan, your district’s Safety Plan, the Student Accountability Report Cards or SARCs and more to address the 8 LCAP areas. Within the area of pupil engagement the LCAP plan must include data such as attendance, dropt, and graduation rates.Suspension and expulsion data should be included within the school climate priority.The topic of course access refers to the broad course of study in certain subject areas for all students along with subgroups and students with special needs.
- The State Board of Education or SBE intends for the LCAP template to be simple, transparent, local, and performance-focused. SBE will attempt to avoid plan duplication by allowing the inclusion of plans already developed such as the LEA plan and SARCs as components of the LEA. LEAs will be required to demonstrate how LCFF funding supports student performance outcomes. SBE is working on providing to districts an LCAP template that can be downloaded and edited so that it can be posted on your district website.The LCAP plan will be organized into sections for each of the 8 priorities which includes guiding questions for analysis, data, and findings.
- This slide is a sample of what the LCAP template will likely ask for within each of the 8 priority areas.
- A common question surrounding the LCFF is what can LCFF funds be spent on? Education Code 42238.07 answers this question by broadly defining educational services as those associated with the delivery of instruction, administration, facilities, technology, and other general infrastructure necessary to operate and provide educational instruction and related services.
- For districts receiving LCFF supplemental and concentration grant funds you will be asked to show evidence that you are spending more, providing more, improving, and/or achieving more for unduplicated pupils identified as foster youth, English learners, and students qualifying for free or reduced meal prices.This slide provides cursory definitions of the concepts of spend more, provide more, and achieve more. Additionally, you may review Education Codes 52060, 52066, and 47605 for the details surrounding this expectation of services for these specific populations of students.
- When developing the district LCAP plan the state requires school districts to focus on the areas of “involvement” and “transparency”.In order to achieve the state’s criteria of involvement Governing Boards must consult with teachers, principals, school personnel, students, and local bargaining groups regarding the LCAP. Additionally, the district’s parent advisory committee and English Language Acquisition Committee (ELAC) must be allowed to review and comment on the LCAP plan. The superintendent must respond in writing to comments.This powerpoint presentation will be posted on the ACSA website and can be used in part or whole by your district as you communicate the LCFF and LCAP with your learning community’s stakeholders. Additionally, the WestEd LCFF video clips and website is another great resource to utilize.Within the area of transparency the district must notify the public of an opportunity for written comment regarding the LCAP. In addition, the Board must hold two public hearings: one for recommendations and comments; and the other running concurrent to the public hearing for the budget.
- It is important that your district create an LCAP development timeline. Here is a sample timeline for your reference.
- School districts will be required to send their LCAP plans each year by Aug 15th to their county office of education. The county office of education will then have until Oct 8th to approve a district’s LCAP plan or make recommendations for revision, assign an academic expert/team, or request that the state superintendent of public instruction assign the California Collaboration for Educational Excellence to the district to provide assistance.The state superintendent of public instruction has the authority to intervene if a district fails to improve outcomes for 3 or more subgroups, 3 out of 4 consecutive years. If this happens the state superintendent may rescind Board action, unilaterally impose budget revisions, and they may make changes to the LCAP plan.
- This last WestEd video clip is a nice summation of the LCAP and LCFF priorities and expectations. This is a good resource to share with your Governing Boards and instructional leadership teams.
