Local Control and Accountability Plan

Local Control Accountability Plan

California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) was hailed as a historic and bold step when it was signed into law in 2013. The law created a new way of financing schools and was intended to provide more local control over the use of funding and more equity.

Local school districts were given the ﬂexibility to determine how best to meet student needs and were entrusted with the responsibility to focus on increasing or improving services to three target populations that have historically been underserved and in need of additional resources: low-income students, English Learners, and foster youth. The new funding formula allocated supplemental and concentration grants for these three populations.

The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a three-year plan that describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student outcomes that address state and local priorities. Below is a list of eight priorities established by the state of California.

State Priorities

Student achievement
Student engagement
Parent involvement
School climate
Common core states standards
Course access
Basic services
Other student outcomes

How is a plan developed?

The development of the LCAP depends on the input of stakeholders, including staff, employee representative groups, and community organizations. Community Forums and Advisory Committee Meetings help strengthen the Accountability Plan. Conversations about the LCAP necessarily revolve around resource allocation and fundamentally target students' classroom learning opportunities - particularly those of English Learners, students of poverty, and foster youth.

Gathering Stakeholder Input

The district wants to hear from you! Every year, we gather stakeholder input through a survey process called ThoughtExchange. The district and school sites host various forums and events to gather input from stakeholders to shape our LCAP. To find an upcoming event near you, please check the Upcoming Events Section below or contact your school site.

Who benefits from the LCAP?

All students should benefit from a school district's LCAP. School districts that receive additional funds to enhance services for low-income students, English Learners, and foster youth should explain how their plan is meeting the needs of these target groups.

What goals are in this year's plan?

Improve and increase access to services that support social, emotional, physical wellness and school success
Ensure students engage in relevant, personalized learning experiences
Increase parent engagement
Recruit and retain the highest caliber employees
Students of all grades and all target groups will demonstrate increased proficiency
