Local Control AccountabilityPlan (LCAP) Introduction Carmel Unified School District
LCAP is District’s plan to meet learning needs of all students. • LCAP is a specific requirement of Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) (base grants, supplemental grants for specific subgroups, concentration grants for students over 55% concentration thresholds). Even though CUSD is not funded via this formula, we do write an LCAP.
If CUSD were funded via LCFF, we would have received $596,222. We need to show costs of intervention services for subgroups that are at least equal to $596,222. We will spend more than $613,000 for these services next year.
LCAP will include “8 State Priorities” • The LCFF and the LCAP require districts to develop a budget that is aligned with plans for improving student learning outcomes and closing achievement gaps. The plan includes these eight priorities: • Student Achievement • Student Engagement • School Climate • Basic Services • Implementation of Common Core State Standards • Parental Involvement • Course Access • Other Student Outcomes
LCAP template will have three sections: • Stakeholder Engagement • Goals & Progress Indicators • Actions, Services, Expenditures
Options for Local Educational Agencies to Demonstrate Increased or Improved Services for Unduplicated Pupils in Proportion to the Increase in Funds Apportioned for Supplemental Concentration Grants • Spend more on services for unduplicated pupils in proportion to the increase in supplemental and concentration grant funds over the amount spent in the prior year. • Provide more, or improve, services for unduplicated pupils in proportion to the increase in supplemental and concentration grant funds. • Achieve more for unduplicated pupils in proportion to the increase in supplemental and concentration grant funds.
Timeline • December, 2013 – Present LCAP requirement to management team (AC, December 17, 2013). • January/February, 2014 – Site/District Administration review student achievement data and share with School Site Councils (SSC) and English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). • January/February, 2014 – Site/District Administration describe services and make recommendations to SSC/ELAC. Parent advisory groups asked for their input for increased/improved services for subgroups.
Timeline, continued • February/March, 2014 – Draft plan (goals and actions) based on site/district recommendations and parent input. Share draft plan with school and parent groups. • April, 2014 – Complete “approved” LCAP template • May, 2014 – Public Hearing and input for LCAP • June, 2014 – Board Approval of LCAP
LCAP – Guiding Principles • Simple – avoids duplication with other plans, jargon, and non-essential information • Transparent – includes information necessary to demonstrate, describe, and explain how LCFF funding supports student performance and outcomes • Local – expects information shared is highly contextual and supports the sharing of a local story • Performance-focused – emphasizes student performance outcomes and avoids compliance-oriented information requests and questions
