ABOUT LCFF AND LCAP
HOW THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) WORKS In 2013, California dramatically reformed the way it funds our public schools. LCFF established a funding system that provides school districts with base funding and additional funds based on how many low-income students, English learners, and foster youth they serve. BASE GRANTS SUPPLEMENTAL GRANTS CONCENTRATION GRANTS Every student generates a base grant, which funds basic educational costs, such as teacher salaries, retirement costs, instructional materials, etc. Every student who is low-income, learning English, or in foster care generates 20% more funding above the base grant. These funds must be spent on increasing and improving services for these high-need student groups in order to improve their achievement. In districts where at least 55% of students are high-need, those high-need students above the 55% enrollment threshold generate an extra 50% of the base grant. These funds must also be spent to increase or improve services for high-need students in order to improve their achievement.
THE LOCAL CONTROL & ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAPS) All school districts must adopt a Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP), a 3-year plan for how districts will use state funds to serve all students. Each district’s LCAP must include the following: Goals Actions Related expenditures LCAPs must include services that target each major student subgroup, including: Racial/ethnic subgroups Low-income students English learners Students with disabilities Foster youth Homeless youth LCAPs must address the 8 State Priorities*: Basic Services Implementation of standards Parental engagement Student achievement Student engagement School climate Access to courses Other student outcomes * For county offices of education there are 2 additional priorities: (9) Instruction for Expelled Youth and (10) Foster Youth Services
