2.  Legislative Advocates discuss how the State Board of Education and the Legislature are viewing the LCAP process and Local Control Funding. We'll talk about how the evaluation rubric is developing and what legislative changes are proposed. We'll talk about best practices being observed in LCAPs regarding bilingual learners.

3. How the Local Control Funding Formula Works How LCFF Works

4. Proportionality Proportionality means to increase (quantity) or improve (quality) services and spending to low income, English learners and foster youth students in proportion to the increase in funding received for supplemental and concentration grants

5. Services to Unduplicated Students The LCAP must include “evidence” showing how services to unduplicated students will be increased or improved during the fiscal year Services include:  Delivery of instruction  Administration  Facilities  Pupil support services  Technology

6. School and Districtwide Thresholds Districtwide: Districts with enrollment of unduplicated students that exceeds 55% must describe in the LCAP how any funding is spent and how services are being provided on a districtwide basis to serve unduplicated students and how those services are helping to meet LCAP goals Schoolwide: Districts with enrollment of unduplicated students at a school that exceeds 40% must identify in the LCAP those services that are being provided on a schoolwide basis and how those services are helping to meet LCAP goals
