Districts Must Set Annual Goals
in Eight Specified Priority Areas
Each LCAP must include a school district’s
annual goals in each of the eight areas
The plans must include both district–wide
goals and goals for each numerically
significant student subgroup in the district
20
Districts Must Specify Actions They
Will Take to Achieve Goals
The LCAP must specify the actions the
district plans to take to achieve its annual
goals.
The specified actions must be aligned with
the school district’s adopted budget.
21
Districts Must Use the
SBE–Adopted LCAP Template
Districts are required to use a template
developed by SBE.
The template is intended to create consistency
in LCAPs across the state and assist school
districts in developing their plans.
The SBE is required to adopt the LCAP template
by March 31, 2014
22
Districts Must Solicit Input From Various
Stakeholders in Developing Plan
23
The District must consult with its school
employees, parents, and students.
As part of this consultation process, districts
must present their proposed plans to a parent
advisory committee and, in some cases, a
separate EL parent advisory committee.
24
The advisory committees can review and
comment on the proposed plan.
Districts must respond in writing to the
comments of the advisory committees.
Districts also are required to notify members
of the public that they may submit written
comments regarding the specific actions and
expenditures proposed in the LCAP

Cautions about LCFF
• Funding for the LCFF beyond seven years is
uncertain
– Sales Tax component of Prop 30 is for 4 years
– Income Tax component of Prop 30 is for 7 years
• There is no requirement for the State to fund the
LCFF in any specific time frame.
• The economy runs in cycles. It is unlikely that
California will have 11 consecutive years of
“recovery”.
