The LCAP template, like each LEA’s final adopted LCAP, is a document, not a process. LEAs must use the template to memorialize the
outcome of their LCAP development process, which should: (a) reflect comprehensive strategic planning (b) through meaningful engagement
with educational partners that (c) meets legal requirements, as reflected in the final adopted LCAP. The sections included within the LCAP
template do not and cannot reflect the full development process, just as the LCAP template itself is not intended as a tool for engaging
educational partners.
If a county superintendent of schools has jurisdiction over a single school district, the county board of education and the governing board of
the school district may adopt and file for review and approval a single LCAP consistent with the requirements in EC sections 52060, 52062,
52066, 52068, and 52070. The LCAP must clearly articulate to which entity’s budget (school district or county superintendent of schools) all
budgeted and actual expenditures are aligned.
The revised LCAP template for the 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2023–24 school years reflects statutory changes made through Assembly Bill
1840 (Committee on Budget), Chapter 243, Statutes of 2018. These statutory changes enhance transparency regarding expenditures on
actions included in the LCAP, including actions that contribute to meeting the requirement to increase or improve services for foster youth,
English learners, and low-income students, and to streamline the information presented within the LCAP to make adopted LCAPs more
accessible for educational partners and the public.
At its most basic, the adopted LCAP should attempt to distill not just what the LEA is doing for students in transitional kindergarten through
grade twelve (TK–12), but also allow educational partners to understand why, and whether those strategies are leading to improved
opportunities and outcomes for students. LEAs are strongly encouraged to use language and a level of detail in their adopted LCAPs intended
to be meaningful and accessible for the LEA’s diverse educational partners and the broader public.
In developing and finalizing the LCAP for adoption, LEAs are encouraged to keep the following overarching frame at the forefront of the
strategic planning and educational partner engagement functions:
Given present performance across the state priorities and on indicators in the California School Dashboard (Dashboard), how is the
LEA using its budgetary resources to respond to TK–12 student and community needs, and address any performance gaps, including
by meeting its obligation to increase or improve services for foster youth, English learners, and low-income students?
LEAs are encouraged to focus on a set of metrics and actions that the LEA believes, based on input gathered from educational partners,
research, and experience, will have the biggest impact on behalf of its TK–12 students.
These instructions address the requirements for each section of the LCAP, but may include information about effective practices when
developing the LCAP and completing the LCAP itself. Additionally, information is included at the beginning of each section emphasizing the
purpose that each section serves.
