Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)
All California school districts are required to adopt a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), to describe how they will spend Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) funding, including supplemental funds from the state to support their focal student populations. Families, students, labor partners, and community members have the opportunity to provide feedback and help shape KUSD's LCAP, similar to how we look to the community for input on district and individual school site budgets.
Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
In July 2013, Governor Brown signed into law a new way to distribute money to California school districts. Known as the Local Control Funding Formula, it is the most comprehensive reform to California’s school funding system in 40 years. With LCFF, school districts serving high-needs students receive more funds, based on the number and percentages of high-needs students they serve. Supplemental LCFF money will support students who need it most, such as low-income students (as measured by their eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch), children in foster care and students learning the English language.
LCFF 8 Priority Areas
- Basic Necessities: teachers, instructional materials, facilities
- Common Core State Standards
- Parental Involvement
- Student Achievement: State assessments, API, EL reclassification rates, college preparedness, etc.
- Student Engagement: attendance, dropout and graduation rates
- School Climate: suspension and expulsion, parent surveys
- Access to Courses
- Other: student outcomes in subject areas
The LCAP is an important part of the State of California’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) model that lets districts make more decisions about how they use funding.
Under LCFF, districts receive:
- LCFF Base Funding: Money provided for each student served and based on average daily attendance
- LCFF Supplemental Funding: Money provided based upon the number of Unduplicated Students (English Learners, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, and Low-Income students)
- LCFF Concentration Funding: Additional money provided to districts whose unduplicated student population is more than 55%
A key part of the LCAP is describing how the district is using targeted funds (LCFF Supplemental and Concentration Grant funding) to meet the needs of English Learners, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, and Low-Income students.
