4. ABOUT LCFF AND LCAP

5. HOW THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) WORKS BASE GRANTS SUPPLEMENTAL GRANTS CONCENTRATION GRANTS In 2013, California dramatically reformed the way it funds our public schools. LCFF established a funding system that provides school districts with base funding and extra dollars based on how many low-income students, English learners, and foster youth they serve. Every student generates a base grant, which funds basic educational costs, such as teacher salaries, retirement costs, instructional materials, etc. Every student who is low-income, learning English, or in foster care generates 20% more funding above the base grant. In districts where at least 55% of students are high-need, those high-need students above the 55% enrollment threshold generate an extra 50% of the base grant.

6. SUPPLEMENTAL AND CONCENTRATION FUNDS – USED TO “INCREASE AND IMPROVE” SERVICES Districts Must Meet Specific Requirements in How They Use Supplemental and Concentration (S & C) Funding Increases S & C funds must be used to “increase and improve” services for high-need students (low income, English learner, and foster youth) S & C funds can be used for schoolwide and districtwide services that benefit non-high-need students, but must demonstrate the spending is “principally directed” and “effective” at improving outcomes for unduplicated pupils. The burden of demonstration depends on the concentration of high-need students. Districts must show that spending is the “most effective use” if (1) districtwide concentration of high-need students is below 55% or (2) schoolwide concentration of high-need students is below 40%. Otherwise districts only have to demonstrate the spending is an effective use of funds.

7. THE LOCAL CONTROL & ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAPS) Each district’s LCAP must include the following: Plan summary Goals and measurable outcomes Actions Related expenditures LCAPs must include goals for each priority and each major student subgroup, including: Racial/ethnic subgroups Low-income students English learners Students with disabilities Foster youth Homeless youth LCAPs must address the 8 State Priorities*: Basic Services Implementation of standards Parental engagement Student achievement Student engagement School climate Access to courses Other student outcomes All school districts must adopt a Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP), a 3-year plan for how districts will use state funds to serve all students. * For county offices of education there are 2 additional priorities: (9) Instruction for Expelled Youth and (10) Foster Youth Services

How will our LCFF investments support meeting our district’s goals for improved student achievement? How does the LCAP reflect the district’s commitment to closing opportunity and achievement gaps? Which actions “increase an improve” services for targeted students, and if districtwide or schoolwide how is this an (the most) effective use of funds?

26. REFLECTIONS & FEEDBACK

27. REFLECTIONS & FEEDBACK Questions for discussion: What questions do you have about the information we presented? Is there anything we need to clarify? In what ways do these spending priorities resonate with you? In what ways do they not resonate with you? Which investments might we increase or add, and why? Which investments might we decrease or eliminate, and why? In what ways is this spending plan helping to close opportunity and achievement gaps within our district? Do you think the targeted actions/services will effectively increase/improve outcomes for targeted students? What alternative actions/services do you think might be more effective?

28. THANK YOU!
