Local Control Accountability Plan Update Norwalk La Mirada Unified School District Community Presentation 1

Local Control Funding Formula  Local Control funding Formula (LCFF) implemented on July 1, 2013  New funding model increases local control, reduces inequities, reflects needs of targeted students and is more transparent

50 year Old Funding Model  Revenue Limit Funding model had been in effect since early 1970’s  Funding was a fixed amount per student  Over 50 state categorical programs were added. Each had specific programmatic and fiscal compliance requirements

A New Funding Approach New Funding Model = New Emphasis, Policies and Governance 1. Targeted Funding for Targeted Student Groups 2. Local Decision Making with Stakeholder Input about how to address Student Needs and Close Achievement Gaps with Budget Accountability

LCFF – What and How  Equal BASE GRANT amounts per pupil for four grade spans – the same for all students at all school districts K $6952 $7056 $7266$8419 *  Additional Funding is added based on fixed percentages of Targeted Populations Supplemental Grant Concentration Grant * Base amounts projected at full implementation over eight years

Targeted Student Populations  Supplemental and Concentration grants are increased based on the percentage of total enrollment accounted for by:  English Learners  Free and Reduced priced meal program  Foster children  LCFF = Base Grant + Supplemental Grant + Concentration Grant

Local Control Accountability Plan Accountability Under LCFF  To ensure that the district budget is aligned with the priorities of the State a plan called the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is required  LCAP must be adopted annually by the Board of Education prior to the adoption of the district budget  LCAP must include SPECIFIC ACTIONS with a DESCRIPTION OF EXPENDITURES

What is LCAP? The LCAP is the action plan that accompanies each district’s budget. The LCAP is a three-year plan that describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support improved student outcomes that address state and local priorities. The LCAP is organized into three sections: (1) Stakeholder Engagement (2) Goals and Progress Indicators (3) Actions, Services, and Expenditures

LCAP THE LCAP SERVES AS THE SPENDING PLAN THAT ACCOMPANIES EACH DISTRICT”S BUDGET. THE 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. THE LCAP MUST ADEQUATELY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE DISTRICT IS USING LCFF FUNDING TO INCREASE AND IMPROVE SERVICES FOR ALL STUDENTS, BUT IS ALSO KEENLY FOCUSED ON THE NEEDIEST STUDENTS STAKEHOLDERS ARE MEANINGFULLY ENGAGED IN THE DEVELOPMENT, CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND ANNUAL UPDATE/REVISION OF THE LCAP THE LCAP AND THE DISTRICT’S SPENDING PLAN WILL BE ACCESSIBLE TO STAKEHOLDERS THE LCAP TELLS THE STORY 9
