Comparing the LCFF… The national expenditure per student is estimated to be $11,467 *. Under the LCFF by , in Riverside County expenditure per pupil will be between… $8,787 - $11, below/on par with the today’s national average. * Source: National Center for Education Statistics
Let’s examine the policy…
The Base Grants LCFF Ave/ADA Grant Ave/ADA Funding (including categoricals) Difference/ADA $6,772$7,220($448) ADEQUACY is critical. The LCFF restores LEAs to base funding levels, but… Does not restore 20% cut to categorical funding, and... Even if it did, we should ask: Is this ADEQUATE to fund core educational programs in ?
per ADA funding within Riverside County… :$8,787 - $11,465 Variance: $2,678/student The Concentration Factor

CNUSD is ineligible for the Concentration Factor but at least six school sites have concentrations of disadvantaged students near or in excess of 80%.
Calculated as 35% of base grant, but what if the Base Grant is ADEQUATE for a rigorous core program? Should the Supplemental Grant be provided as a fixed-dollar amount that reflects the actual cost of supplemental support and programs for disadvantaged students?

LCFF preserves two historic and most inequitable categorical programs: Home- To-School Transportation and TIIG. Let’s look at TIIG for example… The LCFF Add-Ons

Policy deficiencies in the LCFF are curable. Concentration Factor: Eliminate, reduce, or scale the concentration factor and increase the base grant or apply by school site Supplemental Grants can be calculated as a fixed dollar based on empirical evidence of need Antiquated HTS/TIIG formulas can be modernized to reflect current conditions and need
The LCFF does not account for educational adequacy. In the absence of an adequacy discussion, California’s public education system will persistently lag behind the nation. Questions/Discussion…
Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAP)
LCAP Components Goals, Actions, Strategies, and Costs to achieve all of the following: Implement content standards Increase, and reduce gaps in, the API for each school, pupil subgroup Improve student achievement Increase high school graduation rates Increase successful completion of: A-G courses AP courses CTE programs Identify and address needs of “disadvantaged students” Remedy Williams deficiencies (textbooks, facilities, qualified teachers) Provide meaningful opportunities for parent involvement
LCAP Components Additionally, COEs must express goals and strategies to: Address countywide needs Conduct effective oversight Support operations, educational technology and professional development Provide guidance on curriculum and instructional practices Coordinate instruction for expelled students
LCAP Requirements Conform to SBE-adopted template Annual adoption by July 1 Consult with teachers, principals, administrators, parents and students Public notice requirement At least one public hearing to solicit public input must be held prior to budget adoption and not on the same day that the LCAP is adopted by the governing board. The LCAP must be adopted on the same day that the budget is being considered. Within 5 days of adoption, LEA must submit to LCAP to county superintendent on the same day budget is submitted County superintendent is required to review LCAP and can disapprove budget if the LCAP does not align with budget
LCAP Requirements Additionally, COEs required to submit LCAP to: State Superintendent for review County Board of Supervisors County Auditor
What are the implications of the LCAP?
