2. Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) The Local Control Funding Formula is California’s new school finance model to allocate funding from the state to local school districts. In the past, funds were allocated to specific purposes. Local districts had very little discretion in how to use the funds.

3. What Is Different? The LCAP provides districts with greater discretion in allocating state funding. The LCAP provides additional dollars for low-income children, English learners, and foster youth.
