The LCAPA Presentation For
Mojave Unified School District
What is the LCAP???
In 2013 California adopted a new funding formula for school districts—Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
Collapsed the majority of categorical funding sources in the LCFF
Shifts more of the decision-making to the school district level
Requires that supplemental and concentration funds be used to “increase or improve services to El/LI pupils”
Requires districts to adopt LCAPs showing how funds will be spent to provide high-quality education programs and improve student outcomes.

How is the LCAP Different?
It is a critical piece to the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
Each district must include parents, educators, employees, and the community in the writing of the LCAP
The LCAP will describe the district’s overall vision for the students along with annual goals and specific actions the district will take to achieve the vision and goals.
The LCAP must focus on the 8 areas of priority that have been identified by the State.
The plan will link budget to the vision and goals and assess each year how the strategies in the plan were able to improve outcomes.
