In the weeks and months since the adoption of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) regulations and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) template by the State Board of Education (SBE), school districts have received a number of questions related to the LCAP. School Services of California has gathered some of these questions and answers here for our stakeholders to review.

LCFF stands for Local Control Funding Formula. Local – that means us! LCFF is a change in how the State of California funds school districts and the accountability structure that supports it. Basically, it is a change in how schools receive money from the state and how they will invest it with results. By doing this, the state is moving away from funding school districts as a “one size fits most” approach, to a new approach that provides extra support for students who need it most. This change is a major shift from the way public schools used to be funded, and will require some time to transition into this new funding system starting in the 2013‐14 academic year.

LCFF was approved by the California Legislature and Governor Brown in June 2013, and is effective for the 2013-14 academic year. Currently, school districts are being funded through a hybrid model of the previous model (Revenue Limit) and the new model (LCFF). This funding will be fully implemented by the 2010-2021 school year.

With LCFF being will be implemented over 8 years, the new formula will be the stand alone method for distributing state dollars to school districts.

Under the previous model, there were more than 40 categories of funding, each for a specific purpose identified by the State of California.  The LCFF model has basically established three forms of funding, with more local discretion on determining how the funds are spent. By being able to control the funds locally, LCFF allows LAUSD to better serve our high-needs students.

Through LCFF, school districts have to tie their budgets to improvement goals by creating a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) with input from parent representatives and the community. This plan will be created by Coronado Unified School District as a whole and approved by the Board of Education every June. Parents and other stakeholder groups will be invited to participate in the development of the LCAP.

Districts establish local goals with the input of various stakeholders to address the eight goals listed above. In addition, districts re required to indicate the steps it will take to meet the locally designed goals in specific subgroups identified in the LCAP utilizing a state issued LCAP template.

Coronado Unified School District must adopt an LCAP at the same time it adopts the district budget, which is prior to July 1st of every year, usually at the last school board meeting in June.

The LCAP is a three-year plan that has to be updated annually. 

Districts must develop a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) that will better align the academic plan with the district expenditure plan that is approved by the Board Trustees every June. Parents and other stakeholder groups will be invited to participate in the development of the LCAP.
