Local Control Accountability PlanLCAP

Parent Informational Meeting

Dr. Gary Gonzales

Assistant Superintendent-Educational Services

What is the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)

New system to fund CA. public schools (Base plus Supplemental & Concentration) to support improved student outcomes and accountability

Move to a system of accountability based upon local needs, measured by progress toward annual goals, and explicitly linked to AUSD budget

LCFF requires that we think first about outcomes and plan differently

AUSD must develop a 3 year Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) that achieves improved results for all students

LCAP Requirements

The LCAP must

Be a 3 year plan, revised annually

Identify goals based on state priorities for all students, “numerically significant subgroups”

Address the needs of high priority subgroups

List annual actions that the District will implement in accomplishing the goal

Describe expenditures in support of the annual actions and where they can be found in District budget

The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive plan

School site plans and the Single Plan for Student Achievement must align with the LCAP
