What is LCAP?The state’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) replaced California’s finance system for K-12 schools in 2013. LCFF provides school districts like Pittsburg Unified School District with base funding and additional funding based on the number of low-income, English learner, and foster youth served.

School districts are required to produce a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), a three-year plan that demonstrates how increased resources are linked to meeting the needs of all students.
