Overview “LCFF is unprecedented. It seeks to combine a state school funding mechanism aimed at more equitable distribution of resources to students needing the most support with a decision making process that moves power from the state to local communities. It is, indeed, a grand vision, as ambitious and noble an agenda as any state has set.” Toward a Grand Vision, October 2014

Changes in Education Funding and Planning In 2013, California adopted a new formula for deciding how much state money each school district receives, called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Funding is more influenced by the numbers of needy students and far less on state mandates – thus the focus on Local Control. Districts control how to use the funds, but must get input from their local communities about how to address student needs. Districts must also tie their budgets to improvement goals by creating a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
7
LCAP Guiding Principles Subsidiarity Decision-making most effective at local level. Flexibility for LEAs to use LCFF funding to improve student outcomes. Student-Focused Based on assessment of local needs. Goals and actions focused on closing the achievement gap. Transparency Engagement with stakeholders. Describe how funds will be used to increase or improve services to neediest students.
8
Collaborative Planning Will Address Eight State Priorities Districts must engage parents, educators, students, employees and the community to establish district plans. The plans will describe the district’s overall vision (expectations) for students, annual goals, and specific actions the district will take to achieve the vision and goals. The LCAPs must focus on eight areas identified as state priorities. The plans must also demonstrate how the district’s budget will help achieve the goals, and assess each year how well the strategies in the plan were able to improve student outcomes.

State Board Grouped the Eight Priorities Conditions for Learning Basic (1) Implementation of State Standards (2) Course Access (7) Additional Priorities for County Office of Education: Expelled Pupils (9) Foster Youth (10) Pupil Outcomes Pupil Achievement (4) Other Pupil Outcomes (8) Engagement Parent Involvement (3) Pupil Engagement (5) School Climate (6)

LCAP Requirements School Districts and COEs Eight State PrioritiesAll eight state priorities addressed for all pupils and pupil subgroups (COEs have two additional priorities). Consultation RequirementPupils Parents Teachers Principals Administrators Other School Personnel Local Bargaining Units Review and CommentParent Advisory Committee English Learner Parent Advisory Committee Superintendent must respond in writing to comments received. LCAP TemplateUse SBE template as provided with each section completed. 11/14/2014 Summary Source: School Services of California
26
LCAP Requirements School Districts and COEs Use of Supplemental and Concentration Grants Use of funds on districtwide basis if unduplicated count exceeds 55%, or schoolwide if unduplicated count exceeds 40%. If under either percentage, a justification is required. AdoptionDuring a public meeting held after (but not on the same day as) the public hearing. Posting RequirementsAny LCAP approved by the governing board of a school district must be posted on the district’s website.

LCAP Goal
33
Goal Metrics Defined LEAs must, at a minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Example: Priority #5 Pupil Engagement…”as measured by all of the following, as applicable:” 33
34
Guiding Questions from LCAP Template
35
35 Priority #5: Pupil Engagement 5.Pupil engagement as measured by multiple indicators including, but not limited to, –rates associated with attendance, –chronic absenteeism, –dropout middle and high school), and –high school graduation. Research-based Practices Example
36
School climate Lack of access to health care mental and physical) No safe path to school transportation issues) Bullying Excessive suspensions instead of restorative/rehabilitative approaches Chronic health conditions (i.e., asthma, diabetes, dental, etc.) Homelessness Domestic violence Sexual exploitation Parental neglect Teenage rebellion Drug or alcohol abuse Barriers to Attendance 36
37
How to proactively address chronic absenteeism due to health issues Board adopted policies on verifying excessive excused absences for health reasons (see handout for example CDE form). Multi-disciplinary team to address needs of chronically absent foster youth, Academic Counselor Focused on foster youth. 6 year plan Plan for High School + UC, CSU, CC – FAFSA, Cal Grant AVID like Counselor Home Visits 37
