LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULASPECIAL TOWN HALL MEETING
APRIL 1, 2014
HOW WE ARRIVED AT LCFF
LCFF was four decades in the making
A diverse coalition of education, equity, business, parent and civic leaders, in concert with the Governor’s leadership, made LCFF a reality in 2013
2
WHAT DOES LCFF MEAN FOR SCHOOL FUNDING? Historic investment of in high need students: $10 billion
once LCFF is fully implemented
LCFF addressed part of the school funding problem:
• Now we know how schools are funded by the state
• Local communities will have greater control over what to invest in
• We still need to invest more in public education: California is 49th in the nation in our investment

HOW DOES THE FORMULA WORK?

Reserve Levels
Reserve surplus in order to weather Proposition 30 uncertainty
Minor deficit spending during the
downturn
Severe deficit spending, further cuts
required this year
Cuts to the Core Program
Able to forgo deep cuts
Able to reinvest in core programs in the
current year
Deep cuts to core program requiring a multi year recovery
LCFF annual growth in funding
Above average growth Statewide average growth Below average growth
Alignment between “base” funds & current expenditures
Able to maintain and expand districtwide expenditures with
“base” funding levels
Misalignment between “base”
funding amounts, but in 2-3 years funding
will match
Severe misalignment between “base”
funding amounts and districtwide
expenditures

LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLANS(LCAPS)
• By July 1 each year districts will be
required to adopt their plans which will
for the first time be linked to the their
budget
• Plan must address how district will
meet goals for state and local priorities
for the district and all school sites
• State priorities extend beyond
academic goals and also include
parental involvement, student
engagement and school climate
7
PLAN MUST MEET STATE AND LOCAL PRIORITIES
1. Providing all students access to fully credentialed teachers, instructional materials that align with state standards and safe facilities.
2. Implementation of California’s academic standards, including the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and math, Next Generation Science Standards, English language development, health education and physical education standards.
3. Parent involvement and participation, so the local community is engaged in the decision-making process and the educational programs of students.
4. Improving student achievement and outcomes along multiple measures, including test scores, English proficiency and college and career preparedness.
5. Supporting student engagement, promoting positive school climate and providing access to a broad course of study.
6. Highlighting school climate and connectedness through suspension and expulsion rates and other locally identified means.
7. Ensuring all students have access to classes that prepare them for college and careers, regardless of what school they attend or where they live.
8. Measuring other important student outcomes related to required areas of study, including physical education and the arts.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
There are specific points in the development of the LCAP that necessitate parental involvement
• Districts must establish parent advisory
committees to provide advice to the district
regarding the LCAP
• State Priority - Increasing parental involvement, including
district efforts to seek parent input in decision-making
and promoting parental participation in programs for high needs
and special education students
9
BUILD RELATIONSHIPS: PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY
Groups and local stakeholders across California are organizing to engage in LCFF planning efforts.
• Who are active stakeholders so far?• Are there other partners that could be engaged?
10
LCFF sets a target for every district that will be phased in over several years.
Upon full implementation of LCFF funding, what outcomes,services and support does the district community envision willbe in place for students?
The LCAP is a three year planWhat are the intermediate steps that can be achieved in thenext three year window to support that vision?
Each year the district has to adopt a budget aligned to the LCAP.What strategic investments can be made next year that arealigned and moving toward that vision?
What can districts and communities do now?
Focus on long-term, multiyear planning
11
What can districts and communities do now?
Implement early, ongoing and meaningful community engagement
12
LCFF is based on the idea that locally-made decisions will be more reflective of both the needs of children and the goals and aspirations of parents and the community for their children.
Effective engagement strategies build understanding and support for difficult decisions about where to focus scarce resources.
Increased transparency about budgets is essential to build orrebuild trust and increase community support for public education.
