What is LCAP? • Local Control Accountability Plan is a required three year accountability plan for a school district. • Districts must proportionately increase student achievement and close the gap as it relates to future funding. • Provides flexibility for school districts to meet student needs. • Requirements: • Must be on State Board Adopted template • Must set measurable goals identified to each State priority areas • Focus on All students, low socioeconomic students, English language learners, and foster youth students • Must specify actions/services to the identified goals • Must solicit input from stakeholders to develop the plan • 3-year plan must align with the budget • LEUSD’s current plan is July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2018 • Must provide an annual update regarding the current year goals • Governing Board is required to hold a public hearing and approve the following Board Meeting • The LCAP is reviewed and approved by Riverside County Office of Education
Categories of the State Priorities Eight state priorities fall into three broad categories: • Conditions of Learning • Basics • Implementation of State Standards • Course Access • Pupil Outcomes • Student Achievement • Other Student Outcomes • Engagement • Parent Involvement • Student Engagement • School Climate
1. Basic Services Teachers appropriately assigned and fully credentialed. Student technology access; standards-aligned instructional materials access. School facilities in good repair; technology infrastructure & Wi-Fi improvements
3. Parental Involvement Parental Participation and Input • Survey of Parents/Guardians • Parent advisory committee • English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
4. Student Achievement Pass Rate A.P. Exams Progress toward English Proficiency EL Reclassification Rate Academic Performance Index Early Assessment Program (EAP) Participation and College Preparedness Rate A-G Completion Rate or CTE Course Sequence Statewide Assessments
5. Student Engagement School attendance rates Chronic absenteeism rates Middle school dropout rates High school dropout rates High school graduation rates
6. School Climate Encompasses: Pupil suspension rates Pupil expulsion rates Other local measures
7. Access to Courses “A full belly is little worth where the mind is starved.” ̶Mark Twain
LCAP School Site Requirements • Each school is still required to complete a “Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) that aligns to the District’s LCAP. • The schools’ actions and services are to focus in these four student areas: • Low socioeconomic • English language learners • Foster youth • Redesignated fluent English proficient students • LCAP is flexible, providing significant local control over services, activities, and plan content
2016/17 LCAP – Goal #1 • To actively engage students in research-based strategies that will prepare them for college & career • Based on the 2015/2016 baseline of 325 teachers trained in AVID/No Excuses University will be increased by an additional 50 teachers to receive training. • Based on the 2014/2015 baseline of 89.7%, the high school graduation rate will increase by .5% (SED 87.4%, EL 75.7%, SWD 74.0%) • Based on the 2015/2016 baseline of 95.28%, the attendance rate will increase by .25% Subgroup data is unavailable. The district is working with Technology Services to create a process to disaggregate data.
LCAP Goal #1 • 2015/2016 will create a baseline for determining the number of middle school students who developed an action plan for A-G or CTE pathway requirements; there will be a participation in A-G or CTE of 50%. Subgroup data is unavailable. The district is working with Technology Services to create a process to disaggregate data. • Based on the 2014/2015 baseline date of 2,238 students, chronic absenteeism will decrease by 1%. ( SED - 1,718, EL - 248, FY - 22). Subgroup data is unavailable. The district is working with Technology Services to create a process to disaggregate data. • The high school dropout rate will be decreased by .5% from the 2014/2015 baseline data of 6.7% (SED 8.6%, EL 20.8%, SWD 11.2%). Middle school dropout rate will continue to be maintained at 0%.
2016/17 LCAP – Goal #2 • The District will implement State Standards, including ELD Standards, in all content areas • The District will collect and analyze data about implementation of state standards from classroom walk-through observations. This data will be collected on a trimester/semester basis for evaluation.
2016/17 LCAP – Goal #3 • Students will achieve skills necessary to be college and/or career ready • Increase the percentage of graduates completing A-G requirements (2014/2015 - 463 students/29.8%)and CTE pathways. (2014/2015 - 231 students/14.9%). Subgroup data is unavailable. The district is working with Technology Services to create a process to disaggregate data. • Increase the percentage of students who are college ready or conditionally ready as defined by the Early Assessment Program (EAP) in the areas of English (2014/2015 -18%) and Math (2014/2015 - 6%) .
LCAP Goal #3 • To improve the scores of the targeted students (EL, low socioeconomic, foster youth, re-designated) who scored a "1" (standard not met) on the 2014/2015 Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) administration. (For all students ELA - 35% and Math - 43%, for SED - ELA 21% and Math 30%, for EL - ELA 73% and Math 73% scored a "1".) For students to score proficient or advanced in science.
LCAP Goal #3 • To increase the percentage of students taking Advanced Placement exams and to increase the AP pass rate. Subgroup data is unavailable. The district is working with Technology Services to create a process to disaggregate data. • 1% more EL students (based on the 2014/2015 data of 13.1%) will meet reclassification criteria. Meet or exceed federal goals based on the District's 2014/2015 AMAO data. • To maintain or increase the percentage of students making measurable progress toward English proficiency. • Continue to provide academy (5.6 FTEs) and intervention (15 FTEs) teachers to remediate ELA and Math for at risk students.

Possible School Site Council Responsibilities • School Site Councils may define actions that are: • Specific to the identified school site target population • Coordinate with the District’s LCAP plan • Evaluate in the annual update progress review
Next Steps… • April 2017 (Public hearing) • May 2017 (Board Adoption) • LCAP to be approved will cover the period of July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2020 • LCAP will also provide an annual update of the District’s goals for 2016/2017
IntroducingLCFF Local Control Funding Formula
Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) • Eliminated Revenue Limit Funding Formula as of June 30, 2012 • Complex • One dollar value for all grade levels by ADA • Calculation began July 1, 2013 through Governor Brown’s leadership • Full implementation by 2021 • Implemented Grade-Span Funding Formulas • TK-3, 4-5, 6-8, 9-12 • Average Daily Attendance (ADA) • Determines approximately 70% of the District’s annual funding • Targeting a higher funding base per ADA for each grade span • Adjustments for Class Size Reduction and Career Technical Education • Additional Base Grants (Supplemental and Concentration Grants) • English Language, Low Socioeconomic, and Foster Youth populations • Rolled most categorical programs into the LCFF funding model • Gate, Economic Impact Aid, School Improvement, Block Grants, and etc. • Special Education, Lottery, and Transportation is outside the formula
District Wide Use of…Supplemental & Concentration Grants • The LCFF regulations would provide districts varying degrees of latitude in the expenditure of supplemental/concentration grant funds, depending upon the percentage of eligible students • Unduplicated counts: • LEUSD projections for unduplicated students is 66% • If greater than 55%, then these funds may be spent on a district wide basis, provided the district: • Identifies the district wide services (i.e., instructional programs, compensation) • Describes how these services meet the district’s goals for the targeted students in the state priority areas
What Stays the Same? • Financial Audits • Compliance with Williams Act (Instructional Materials) • School Accountability Report Cards • Federal funding, planning and accountability • School districts continue to receive funding through the State
