LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF)

California’s formula for

determining the level of state

funding provided to school

districts. The majority of

funding is dedicated to

improving academic

outcomes for all students

with additional funding

provided for English

Learners, foster youth, and

students living in poverty.

HOW THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) WORKS

• LCFF provides a base grant which funds basic educational costs, such as salaries, instructional materials, etc.

Base Grants

• Additional grants which equate to 20% above the base grant for students living in disadvantaged circumstances including English learners, foster youth, and students living below the federal poverty level. These funds must be used to increase or improve services.

Supplemental Grants

• LCFF provides an additional grant where districts have at least 55% of students who are disadvantaged which equates to 50% above base funding. These funds must also be spent to increase or improve services.
