1. California’s New LCFF Accountability Rubrics and School DAshboard
A Single Coherent Local, State and Federal Accountability and Continuous Improvement System
Read the title slide
What does the sub-title mean?

2. What Does That Mean???
LCFF – Local Control Funding Formula; the funding regulations that began in 2013 that moved more of the decision making to the district level.
Accountability – how well districts and schools are doing.
Rubric – Describes specific criteria for grading or scoring
What does that title slide mean?
Elementary rubric – uses symbols to convey how the student did in each category

3. What Does That Mean???
Coherent –The new LCFF Accountability Rubrics will be used to determine information about school and district progress under both the federal and state accountability systems.
Before LCFF - California had two very different rating systems.
The state used Academic Performance Index (API) and the federal government used Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
Many schools did well on the API measurement, but not as well for the AYP.

4. What Does That Mean???
Continuous Improvement System – how the data from the rubrics can help each student be successful.

5. What Does This Look Like?
The accountability tool that will help a district see how their students are doing is the evaluation rubric:
They include indicators for all 8 LCFF State Priorities
Is displayed on a public web interface called the California School Dashboard
Assists districts and charters in identifying strengths, and areas in need of improvement

6. LCFF Accountability Rubrics
designed to show how a district or school is doing
Look at sub-groups; relate to LCAP outcomes that may not include sub groups

8. Grades are a type of rubric, designed to give information on how well a student is doing,

9. The Rubric Indicators (These are like the subjects on a report card)9
The Rubric Indicators (These are like the subjects on a report card)
State Indicators:
Academic - Grades 3-8 ELA and Math SBAC (and Science*)
English Learner Composite (LCAP Priority 4) - EL Proficiency and Reclassification
Graduation Rate (LCAP Priority 5)
Suspension Rate (LCAP Priority 6) - by grade span; LEA and School
College and Career* - (LCAP Priority 7 and 8)
Grade 11 ELA and Math SBAC
Course Completion - A-G, CTE, Academic, CTE Dual Enrollment
AP/IB Exam Pass Rates
Chronic Absenteeism*
* when available
State Indicators have performance standards 9

10. The Rubric Indicators (These are like the subjects on a report card)10
The Rubric Indicators (These are like the subjects on a report card)
Local Performance Indicators
Appropriately Assigned Teachers, Access to Instructional Materials, and Safe, Clean and Functional School Facilities (Priority 1)
Implementation of State Academic Standards (Priority 2)
Parent Engagement (Priority 3)
School Climate – Local Climate Surveys (Priority 6)
Each indicator will have state defined standards, evidence and criteria .
Districts will assess their progress on these indicators as:
Met / Not Met / Not Met for Two or More Years
Districts make their own determinations based on state criteria. The level they determine will be uploaded to the state’s report. 10

11. The Rubrics and the LCAP
Since the indicators on the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics are similar to the Expected Annual Measurable Outcome on the LCAP, districts are already working to improve those indicators through the actions in their LCAP.
Possible outcomes from LCAPs
The percent of students meeting or exceeding the standards on the SBAC in math will increase from 31% (in ) to 35% in (similar to the academic indicator)
The overall school suspension rate will decrease from 9% in to 8% for (suspension rate indicator)

12. Performance Levels
Based on both how a district/site is currently doing (status), and whether it is improving (change).

13. Next steps
Look at your district’s evaluation rubric. Where are the areas that need improvement?
Now look at the district’s LCAP, especially the annual update section. Has the district shown improvement in the outcomes related to the areas needing improvement?
What actions are in place to improve those outcomes?
What other ideas do you have?
