2. CONTEXT
Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
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.
Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)
A three-year plan using a template
adopted by the California State Board
of Education (SBE)
The LCAP must identify goals and
measure progress for student
subgroups across multiple
performance indicators.
3. 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.

4. WHAT IS THE LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY
PLAN (LCAP)?
Beginning on July 1, 2014, as part of the LCFF, school districts were required to
develop, adopt, and annually update a three-year Local Control and Accountability
Plan (LCAP) using a template adopted by the California State Board of Education
(SBE).
The LCAP must identify goals and measure progress for student subgroups across
multiple performance indicators.
The SBE will be adopting evaluation rubrics on or before October 1, 2016. These
rubrics will assist LEAs and oversight entities in evaluating strengths,weaknesses,
areas that require improvement, technical assistance needs, and where interventions
are warranted.

5. LCFF & LCAP
The LCFF provides a mechanism for determining the amount of
state funding for each LEA in California. In order to be eligible to
receive these funds, each LEA must submit an LCAP to the state,
and update that plan each year.
The LCAP shows how the LEA will use the funds provided by the
state to address each of the eight state priorities delineated in
the law
Ø in order to meet the needs of all students,
Øincluding low income students, English learners, and foster youth
Øas well as other student groups listed in the EdCode.
6. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LCFF
AND THE LCAP ?
Additional requirements for the plan include:
The plan must include specific data defined by the state to monitor progress on each of the 8
priorities.
The plan must be reviewed and updated annually.
Stakeholder review and input is an important part of the process of developing, evaluating and
updating the plan.
The plan and annual updates must be submitted to the county office of education for review
and approval.

12. BACKGROUND
Union School District’s LCAP Advisory Committee was formed and met five
times during the 2014-2015 school year.
The group’s work included:
Reviewing and determining the success of each District goal
Recommending changes
Gathering input from each stakeholder group
The updated LCAP was shared with stakeholders and approved by the
Board.
The plan was approved by the SCCOE and CDE at the beginning of the
2015-2016 school year.
13. LCAP GOALS TO BE REVIEWED
1. Hire and retain highly qualified employees that are properly certificated, fairly
compensated and properly trained in Common Core, and technology enhanced
instruction.
2. Raise the achievement of all students through a rigorous, common core based
instructionthat is appropriately analyzed through the use of multiple measures
including the CAASPP assessments.
3. Technology infrastructurewill be updated throughout the district.Each student
will be provided with a one-to-one device. All classrooms will be renovated to
reflect Common Core and 21st Century teaching standards.
4. Identify avenues to improve home-to-school,and district-to-school
communication along with growing and enhancing parent involvement.
5. Promote the complete education, both academically and socially of every child in
the District including those identified with an IEP to those identified as GATE.
