20Districts Must Set Annual Goals in Eight Specified Priority Areas
Each LCAP must include a school district’s annual goals in each of the eight areas
The plans must include both district–wide goals and goals for each numerically significant student subgroup in the district
21Districts Must Specify Actions They Will Take to Achieve Goals
The LCAP must specify the actions the district plans to take to achieve its annual goals.
The specified actions must be aligned with the school district’s adopted budget.
22Districts Must Use the SBE–Adopted LCAP Template
Districts are required to use a template developed by SBE.
The template is intended to create consistency in LCAPs across the state and assist school districts in developing their plans.
The SBE is required to adopt the LCAP template by March 31, 2014
23Districts Must Solicit Input From Various Stakeholders in Developing Plan
The District must consult with its school employees, parents, and students.
As part of this consultation process, districts must present their proposed plans to a parent advisory committee and, in some cases, a separate EL parent advisory committee.

The advisory committees can review and comment on the proposed plan.
Districts must respond in writing to the comments of the advisory committees.
Districts also are required to notify members of the public that they may submit written comments regarding the specific actions and expenditures proposed in the LCAP

Cautions about LCFF• Funding for the LCFF beyond seven years is
uncertain– Sales Tax component of Prop 30 is for 4 years– Income Tax component of Prop 30 is for 7 years
• There is no requirement for the State to fund the LCFF in any specific time frame.
• The economy runs in cycles. It is unlikely that California will have 11 consecutive years of “recovery”.
