LEGISLATURE ENACTED AB 97 - LCFF
AB 97, as amended by SB 91 and SB 97 enacted LCFF
Equity & additional resources for students with greater needs:
 Low-income students
 English learners
 Foster youth
Local Decision-Making
Accountability
Transparency
Budget Alignment with Accountability Plan

FLEXIBILITY VS. TARGETING
It’s the Local Control Funding Formula!
But, it also targets funding to specific student characteristics and needs
Both flexibility and resource “equity” are core tenets of the LCFF and both are
supported by research and practice
State Board tasked with maintaining the right balance

LCFF Funds No More Restrictive Than Title I (E.C.
42238.07) – “Currently a Debated Topic at SBE”

LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA
(LCFF)
LCFF simply gets us to a target of 2007/08 funding over an eight year period.
There will be many disparities among different districts.
Comparability with other districts will be difficult to determine as some districts
receive significantly more and others significantly less.
Each District needs to determine what they can afford to remain solvent.
