LCFF AND LCAP THE GAME HAS CHANGED! LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA AND LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN PRESENTER SENIOR LABOR RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE GUILLERMO SANTUCCI OFO Officers Skills Training 2014
WHAT IS LCFF? PROP 98 vs. LCFF State funding depends on state budget Formula is based on Prop. 98 (approx. 40% of state revenues) Prop 98 determines the size of K-14 pie (revenue limits and categorical programs) How big the pie slice was and the filling
WHAT IS LCFF?.CONTINUED LCFF slices the pie based on: Same amounts per student Grade Level/Demographic adjustments Pie filling responsibility handed to LEA s Expectation of funding flexibility improves LEA s ability to meet student needs rather than state directed Implementation 8 year expectation LCFF begins in 2013-14
WHAT MAKES LCFF DIFFERENT? (BETTER) Simplifies state funding system all agencies using the same formula Replaces California s extensive collection of categorical programs More funding for poverty, English learners and foster youth Performance focused Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAP) Student needs drives spending Flexibility in LEA s hands
PERFORMANCE-BASED BUDGETING & PLANNING Students needs to drive spending Budgets aligned to plan Approve plan before preparing & adopting budgets Parent/Community input with transparent information should be communicated
TARGET FUNDING UNDER LCFF [K-12] Under LCFF K-12 Districts will receive funding from the following sources: Funds derived from statute specified base grants per ADA by grade level. Such base grants are then increased by applicable COLA COLA adjusted base grants increased further for grade spans K-3 for CSR (Class Size Reduction) applicable increments and for grade spans 9-12 for CTE (Career Technical Education) applicable increments Funds derived from Supplemental Grants Funds derived from Concentration Grants
TARGET FUNDING UNDER LCFF K-12 BASE GRANTS Begin with statute specified Base Grants Per Grade Level For 2013/14 then Add COLA of 1.565% to each grade span base Level Then increase K-3 COLA adjusted base grants by 10.4% ($723) and increase the 9-12 COLA adjusted base grants by 2.6% ($219)* Multiplying these Grade Span amounts by the ADA per grade span level will give you the Base Grants the Districts will receive upon full implementation of LCFF (2021)
TARGET FUNDING UNDER LCFF: K-12 SUPPLEMENTAL AND BASE GRANTS Base Grants are only part of the total picture of LCFF funding Supplemental and Concentration grants are also part of LCFF In order to determine the Supplemental and Concentration grants, you must determine the District s percentage of students enrolled who are: English learners, economically disadvantaged and foster youth
TARGET FUNDING UNDER LCFF: Supplemental Grants 20% supplemental funding for unduplicated English Language Learners, Low Income Students and Foster Youth
TARGET FUNDING UNDER LCFF K-12 Concentration Grants: The District s base grants multiplied by the District s percentage of disadvantaged population above a 55% threshold multiplied by 50%. No Concentration Grant if the District s disadvantaged population does not exceed 55%.
TOTAL FUNDING TARGET LCFF: K-12 To arrive at targeted funding upon full implementation of LCFF, combine: Total Base Grant Funding + Total Supplemental Grant Funding + Total Concentration Grant Funding + 2012/13 Categorical Amounts for Home to School Transportation + 2012/13 Categorical Amounts for Targeted Instructional Improvement Program (TIIG)+ This is your District s Total Funding Target
TARGET FUNDING UNDER LCFF K-12: CONCENTRATION GRANTS Assuming District s population of disadvantaged students is 70% and Total Base Grant = $29,764,954 Concentration Grants: = 29,764,954 X 15% [District s population of disadvantaged student 70 55%] X 50% $29,764,954 X 15% = $ 4,464,743.10 $4,464,743.10 X 50% = $2,232,372
NEW MONEY UNDER LCFF: K-12 To arrive at targeted funding upon full implementation of LCFF, combine: Total Base Grant Funding + Total Supplemental Grant Funding + Total Concentration Grant Funding + 2012/13 Categorical Amounts for Home to School Transportation + 2012/13 Categorical Amounts for Targeted Instructional Improvement Program (TIIG)+ This is your District s Total Funding Target
TARGET FUNDING UNDER LCFF: K-12 District Z Total Base Grant Funding $29,764,954 Total Supplemental Grant Funding $4,167,094 Total Concentration Grant Funding $2,232,372 12/13 Categorical for HTS $500,000 12/13 Categorical for TIIG $500,000 Total Funding Upon Full Implementation Of LCFF $37,164,420 is the total District Funding Target Full implementation expected in 2021 $37,164,420

LCAP ORGANIZING Develop the Message 1. Restoring Positions + Increasing Classified Work = Improved Services 2. Improved Services = LCFF Compliance = Better Schools = Improved Student Achievement
LCAP ADVOCACY Activate the Organizing Committee LCAP meetings Parent Advisory Group Meetings School Board Meetings Meetings with School Board Members and Superintendent Advocate for restoration of services, programs and its service providers (classified employees).
ALIGN THE ADVOCACY WORK TO BARGAINING Identify bargaining objectives: Identify classifications and departments impacted by cuts but not made whole. Restoration of Positions, Hours and Work Year By Classifications By Departments Compensation (Wages and Benefits)
