LCFF | LCAP
In 2013 a new era of school finance in California was signed into law. The new funding model is known as the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). It reshapes school funding and aims to improve achievement for all students.
LCFF and its counterpart, the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), are anchored by the notion that California must do better for its underperforming students, who make up a sizable portion of the state’s school-age population. The LCFF significantly changes the funding formula for school districts; it identifies categories of students requiring greater resources: students who qualify for free or reduced-priced meals, students who are English Learners and foster youth.
School districts must create a three-year LCAP to describes how they intend to meet annual goals for all students, with specific activities to address state and local priorities.
San Rafael City Schools conducted an in-depth, targeted and multi-layered engagement process in 2018-19. This engagement process included multiple opportunities to review the LCAP and to provide feedback on the plans to support all SRCS students to graduate college and career ready.
A large majority of our engagement this year focused on implementation of the initiatives under our five goals. Sharing progress on the implementation of goals involved a thoughtful stakeholder engagement process which included the community, students, parents, teachers, staff, site principals and central office leadership.
The final versions of "Year 3" of the Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAP) for 2017-2020 were approved by the SRCS Board of Education on June 26, 2019.

The acronyms "LCFF" and "LCAP" are tossed around frequently, but what do they mean and where do they come from? Read on to learn more!
What is the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)?
California's 2013-14 Budget Act included landmark legislation that greatly simplifies the state's school finance system. The changes introduced by the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) represent a major shift in how California funds Local Educational Agencies (LEAs). For nearly 40 years, California has relied on a system that included general purpose funding (known as revenue limits) and more than 50 tightly defined categorical programs to provide state funding to LEAs. Under LCFF, California funds school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education equally per student with adjustments based on grade levels and demographic characteristics. LCFF replaces complexity in favor of equity, transparency, and performance.
What is the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)?
Complementing the changes to state funding made by the Local Control Funding Formula is a newly required Local Control and Accountability Plan. The LCAP is LCFF's vehicle for transparency and engagement. It is the way that LEAs are expected to share performance data, needs, actions, and anticipated outcomes that guide the use of available LCFF funding. LCAPs are three-year plans, updated annually.

¿Qué es la Fórmula de Financiación de Control Local (LCFF)?
La Ley de Presupuesto 2013-14 de California incluye legislación histórica que simplifica enormemente el sistema financiero escolar del estado. Los cambios introducidos por la Fórmula de Financiación de Control Local (LCFF) representan un movimiento importante en la forma en que California financia a las Agencias Locales de Educación de California (LEA). Durante casi 40 años, California se ha basado en un sistema que incluía una financiación de propósito general (conocido como ingresos límites) y más de 50 programas categóricos bien definidos para proporcionar los fondos estatales a las LEA. Bajo LCFF, California financia los distritos escolares, escuelas y oficinas de educación del condado igualmente por estudiante con ajustes basados en los niveles de grado y características demográficas. LCFF reemplaza complejidad a favor de la equidad, la transparencia y el rendimiento.
¿Qué es el Plan de Responsabilidad y Control Local (LCAP)?
Como complemento de los cambios realizados en la financiación estatal por la Fórmula de Financiación de Control Local hay un Plan de Responsabilidad y Control Local necesario. El LCAP es el vehículo de LCFF de transparencia y compromiso. Es la forma en que se espera que las autoridades educativas locales compartan los datos de rendimiento, necesidades, acciones y resultados anticipados que guían el uso de los fondos LCFF disponible. Los LCAP’s son planes de tres años y se actualizarán anualmente.
