District and School Parent Advisory Committees Training

Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) LCAP describes how each district will: Spend more on services Provide more, or improve services Achieve more ….. …..for unduplicated pupils in proportion to increase in supplemental and concentration grant

A New Way of Thinking The OLD Paradigm focused on INPUT… Program Decisions How much money do we have? What are we allowed to use the money for? How do we comply with state law? What are the audit requirements and penalties? …LCFF is Focused on OUTCOMES… What are our expectations for students? What programs/services are achieving desired results? What are our achievement goals? What must we do to improve conditions of learning, school climate and increase engagement? What can we accomplish in three years? How will we measure our progress? Based on resources available, what actions and activities will we implement next year? PROGRAM DECISIONS
