Local Control Funding Formula • Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) begins in 2013-14 • Department of Finance estimates that achieving full funding levels under the LCFF will take eight years • Funding based on the demographic profile of the students in the District • Goal is to simplify how state funding is provided • Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) is an important component of LCFF • District will be required to develop, adopt, and annually update a three year LCAP, beginning in July 1, 2014 • California Department of Education (CDE) making system changes to implement the new formula and does not expect to have those completed until July 2014
