Why We Are Here…
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
• California’s new funding model for schools
• Full implementation expected to take 8 years
• Once fully implemented, base funding for all school
districts in California will be equalized
• Additional funds will be generated based on the
number of students who are English learners, low
income (eligible for Free/Reduced Price Meals), and
foster youth – and are intended to be used to serve
these populations
Why We Are Here…
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
• It’s expected to increase:
• Local school district control
• Equity
• Accountability
• Transparency
• Inclusiveness and Collaboration
• Local decision making with stakeholder input about how to address
student needs and close achievement gaps aligned with the budgeting
process

Characteristics of Effective
Schools
1. A clear and shared focus
Everybody knows where they are going and
why. The focus is on achieving a shared vision,
and all understand their role in achieving the
vision. The focus and vision are developed from
common beliefs and values, creating a
consistent direction for all involved.

Schools
2. High standards and expectations for all
students
Teachers and staff believe that all students can
learn and meet high standards. While
recognizing that some students must overcome
significant barriers, these obstacles are not seen
as impossible to achieve. Students are offered an
ambitious and rigorous course of study.
CUHSD Goal:
2) Implement CCSS
State Priority:
2) Implementation of standards
7) Access to Course of Study
Characteristics of Effective
Schools
3. Effective school leadership
Effective instructional and administrative leadership
is required to implement change processes. Effective
leaders are proactive and seek help that is needed.
They nurture an instructional program and school
culture conducive to learning and professional
growth. Effective leaders have different styles and
roles -- teachers and other staff often have a
leadership role.
CUHSD Goal:
5) Professional growth to develop future leaders
Characteristics of Effective
Schools
4. High levels of collaboration and
communication
There is strong teamwork among all staff across
all grades and subject areas. Everybody is
involved and connected to each other, including
parents and members of the community, to
identify problems and work on solutions.
CUHSD Goal:
4) Improve communication
State Priority:
3) Parent involvement & 6) Climate
Characteristics of Effective
Schools
5. Curriculum, instruction and assessments
aligned with state standards
The planned and actual curricula are aligned
with the essential academic learning
requirements. Research-based teaching
strategies and materials are used. Staff
understands the role of classroom and state
assessments, what the assessments measure, and
how student work is evaluated.
CUHSD Goal:
2) Implement CCSS
State Priority:
2) Implementation of standards
Characteristics of Effective
Schools
6. Frequent monitoring of learning and teaching
A steady cycle of different assessments identifies
students who need help. More support and instructional
time are provided, either during the school day or
outside normal school hours, to students who need more
help. Teaching is adjusted based on frequent monitoring
of student progress and needs. Assessment results are
used to focus and improve instructional programs.
CUHSD Goal:
1) Increase achievement
2) Improve communication
State Priority:
4) Pupil achievement
Characteristics of Effective
Schools
7. Focused professional development
A strong emphasis is placed on training staff in
areas of most need. Feedback from learning and
teaching focuses extensive and ongoing
professional development. The support is also
aligned with the school or district vision and
objectives.
CUHSD Goal:
5) Professional growth opportunities
State Priority:
1) Teachers appropriately assigned
Characteristics of Effective
Schools
8. Supportive learning environment
The school has a safe, civil, healthy and
intellectually stimulating learning environment.

and are engaged in learning. Instruction is
personalized and small learning environments

Characteristics of Effective
Schools
9. High level of family and community
involvement
There is a sense that all have a responsibility to
educate students, not just teachers and staff in
schools. Families, as well as businesses, social
service agencies, and community colleges &
universities, all play a vital role in this effort.
