Introduction and Instructions
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) requires local educational agencies (LEAs) to engage their local educational partners in an annual
planning process to evaluate their progress within eight state priority areas encompassing all statutory metrics (COEs have 10 state priorities).
LEAs document the results of this planning process in the LCAP using the template adopted by the State Board of Education.
The LCAP development process serves three distinct, but related functions:
•
Comprehensive Strategic Planning: The process of developing and annually updating the LCAP supports comprehensive strategic planning
(California Education Code [EC] Section 52064[e][1]). Strategic planning that is comprehensive connects budgetary decisions to teaching and
learning performance data. LEAs should continually evaluate the hard choices they make about the use of limited resources to meet student and
community needs to ensure opportunities and outcomes are improved for all students.
•
Meaningful Engagement of Educational Partners: The LCAP development process should result in an LCAP that reflects decisions made
through meaningful engagement (EC Section 52064[e][1]). Local educational partners possess valuable perspectives and insights about an LEA's
programs and services. Effective strategic planning will incorporate these perspectives and insights in order to identify potential goals and actions to
be included in the LCAP.
•
Accountability and Compliance: The LCAP serves an important accountability function because aspects of the LCAP template require LEAs to
show that they have complied with various requirements specified in the LCFF statutes and regulations, most notably:
o
Demonstrating that LEAs are increasing or improving services for foster youth, English learners, and low-income students in proportion to
the amount of additional funding those students generate under LCFF (EC Section 52064[b][4-6]).
o
Establishing goals, supported by actions and related expenditures, that address the statutory priority areas and statutory metrics (EC
sections 52064[b][1] and [2]).
o
Annually reviewing and updating the LCAP to reflect progress toward the goals (EC Section 52064[b][7]).
