LCFF Important Facts
•
•
•
LCFF replaces revenue limits and most state categorical
programs
LCFF is designed to improve student outcomes
 Simplicity to aid in transparency
 Equity through student-focused formula
 Performance through aligned program and budget plans
 Local flexibility to meet student needs
LCFF implementation will take time, but begins now

Keys to Performance-Based Budgeting
•
•
•
Data with analysis
Persistence
Understanding of planning and performance assumptions
•
•
Criteria for evaluation
•
•
•
•
•
Theory of action, logic model, etc.
Starting with priorities and values
Expectations
Information to evaluate
Stakeholder engagement
Simplicity over complexity

improvement
Emphasis on good planning, communication, and
engagement

LCAP Section 1:
Stakeholder Engagement
•
•
•
Describe in the LCAP the process used to engage the
community, including meeting requirements of statute, in
developing the LCAP
Describe how this engagement contributed to the
development of the LCAP
LEAs must still describe goals and actions around the state
priorities of parent involvement and pupil engagement
which must be detailed in sections 2 and 3
9
Helpful Tip
•
Be prepared for authentic engagement
•
•
Authentic engagement requires us to be purposeful in
order to answer:
•
•
•
•
Don’t ask stakeholders for input you don’t have a plan for
using!
To what end do we plan to engage people?
What do we hope to achieve?
Based on what contributions?
In other words, authentic engagement reflects that
stakeholder contributions matter
10
LCAP Section 2:
Goals and Progress Indicators
•
•
•
•
Set goals (annual and long term) around state and local
priorities
Identify metrics for measuring progress towards goals
Review past progress and adjust if necessary
LEAs must create goals for all school sites and subgroups
identified in Education Code Section 52052, but may group
and describe these goals together as appropriate
11
Helpful Tip
•
Goals are fundamental issues that LEAs choose to
address.
•
•
They provide direction for how to pursue a larger, more
abstract vision – “Where are we going?”
Outcomes are clear, concrete statements of what will be
different or improved for students.
•
What will they know, accomplish, or be able to do differently?
12
Helpful Tip
•
Metrics are statements about what LEAs will measure to
determine
•
•
How well their efforts/strategies are achieving desired
outcomes for students
Metrics will allow LEAs to communicate annual progress,
analyze successes and challenges, and make appropriate
modifications to actions and services
13
LCAP Section 3 (A) and (B):
Actions, Services, and Expenditures
•
•
•
Identify actions and services to support the goals
Identify expenditures to support the actions and services
and describe where these expenditures are included in the
LEA’s budget
Review past progress and adjust if necessary
14
Helpful Tip
•
•
Consider performance based thinking
LCFF is an opportunity (and possibly an incentive) to
implement a performance based budget
•
•
•
Fund that which contributes most to performance
How do we currently factor in performance to our
budgeting?
What would it look like to plan for performance?

Helpful Tip
Clearly Communicate
•
•
Planning process goals, activities, and timeline
•
Any specific decision-making parameters
•
Who will participate in a core Planning Coordination Team
•
Who will facilitate the process
•
The basis for stakeholder involvement and selection
•
Expectations for stakeholder contributions
•
The decision-making process and authority
•
Ways of raising constructive questions or concerns
•
Progress made over time
17
Implementation of LCFF
•
Local educational agencies will develop budgets and
plans in 2014-15 reflecting LCFF funding and
structures
•
•
•
Spending regulations will guide expenditure planning
LCAP will share story – explain how resources contribute
to goals, demonstrate equity, and support transparency and
simplicity
Governor’s Budget substantially builds on LCFF
implementation

Next Steps to Support Implementation
