7. The Basics Local Control Funding Formula

8. Local Control Funding Formula Enacted as a Trailer Bill to the 2013-14 Budget Act (Assembly Bill 97) Major restructuring of school finance formula Makes fundamental changes to how Proposition 98 funds are allocated

9. LCFF Concentration Grant Districts/counties with over 55% of at-risk students receive additional per student concentration grant Supplemental Grant for at-risk students Low Income English Learners Foster Youth Base Grant based on grade level Target equal base grants per pupil adjusted for four grade spans will be the same for all students at all school districts and charter schools

10. Local Control Funding Formula

11. The LCAP is a critical part of the LCFF: * Describes the overall vision for students, annual goals and specific actions districts will take to achieve the vision and goals * Must address the needs of all students * Must link the district plan with the district budget • Each school district must engage parents, educators, employees and the community to establish plans Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)

12. Districts must establish Parent Advisory Committees to provide advice to the district regarding the LCAP • Districts where 15% of the students are ELL must establish an English Learner Advisory Committee that must review and provide comment on the LCAP • Districts can utilize existing committees Parent Involvement
