Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP) Support
Empowering LEAs to maximize their impact through expert LCAP support.
MCOE is committed to supporting local educational agencies (LEAs) in developing and maximizing the impact of their Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
MCOE provides services and professional learning opportunities in alignment with state accountability requirements under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and California Department of Education updates, accountability requirements.
California's previous complex education funding model has been replaced by the simplified Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). In 2013-14 California adopted the LCFF, which sets an equal dollar per student allocation for every district based on grade level (elementary receives additional per pupil funding for class size reduction, high schools get additional per pupil funding for career technical education). Districts and charter schools are also allocated funds to meet the needs of the low income, English learner, homeless and foster youth students.
What does this mean for our districts and charter schools?
Under LCFF, California has shifted the responsibility to the school districts and charters for how the money will be spent. The expectation is that districts and charters will act based on the needs of all of their students. This is local control. The accountability for the LCFF funds lies in the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). All districts and charters are required to produce an LCAP, demonstrating how the LCFF funds are linked to meeting the needs of all students. Each LCAP must address the 10 state priorities and incorporate specific metrics the state has defined to monitor the priorities. Working with stakeholders, the LCAP outlines actions and services that will lead to attainment of the district goals and eight priorities for all students. Stakeholder review and input is an integral part of this process. Parent, student, and public input is used in developing and refining the plan annually.
