HOW THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) WORKS 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 additional funds based on how many low-income students, English learners, and foster youth they serve. BASE GRANTS Every student generates a base grant, which funds basic educational costs, such as teacher salaries, retirement costs, instructional materials, etc. SUPPLEMENTAL GRANTS Every student who is low-income, learning English, or in foster care generates 20% more funding above the base grant. These funds must be spent on increasing and improving services for these high-need student groups in order to improve their achievement. CONCENTRATION GRANTS In districts where at least 55% of students are high-need, those highneed students above the 55% enrollment threshold generate an extra 50% of the base grant. These funds must also be spent to increase or improve services for high-need students in order to improve their achievement. 5
THE LOCAL CONTROL & ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAPS) 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. Each district s LCAP must include the following: Goals Actions Related expenditures LCAPs must include services that target 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*: 1. Basic Services 2. Implementation of standards 3. Parental engagement 4. Student achievement 5. Student engagement 6. School climate 7. Access to courses 8. Other student outcomes * For county offices of education there are 2 additional priorities: (9) Instruction for Expelled Youth and (10) Foster Youth Services 6

WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE AT MY SITE? 13
SCHOOL SITES VS DISTRICT 14
SCHOOL SITES VS DISTRICT With the LCAP/LEAP, FUSD has centralized programs and services. What does this mean? School sites previously received Categorical, or restricted funds, to fund programs and services. Each school's budget was determined by the amount of students they had enrolled and met the criteria. Many schools could not fund programs students needed due to the lack of funds. 15
SCHOOL SITES VS DISTRICT 16
SCHOOL SITES VS DISTRICT CENTRALIZING COSTS ARE EFFECTIVE, AS THEY TAKE THE BURDEN OFF OF THE PRINCIPALS AND SCHOOL SITES SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON INSTRUCTION, STUDENTS, AND THEIR SITE, AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE NUTS AND BOLTS. 17
SCHOOL SITES VS DISTRICT What are programs at your site that you believe might be in the LCAP/LEAP? What might be added to the LCAP/LEAP for programs at your site? 18
REFLECTIONS & FEEDBACK 19
OUR DISTRICT S PLANS FOR SUCCESS Let's discuss the following questions: Which LCAP/LEAP goals should the district prioritize to improve student achievement? How will our LCFF investments support meeting our district s goals for improved student achievement? How does the LCAP/LEAP reflect the district s commitment to closing opportunity and achievement gaps? How can you get involved in the LCAP/LEAP process? 20
