Accounting for LCAP
33
Accounting for LCAP
• CDE - How can expenditures be coded in 2013–14 to address
LCFF state priorities?
Funding is provided in an unrestricted resource code. LEAs
may define local codes to track expenditures if they wish.
• Template Requirements
–Describe expenditures to implement each action
–Describe where expenditures can be found in the LEA’s
budget
–Reference all fund sources used to support actions and
services
34
Accounting for LCAP
• LEAs should carefully consider the expenditures to be included in the
establishment of their base supplemental and concentration amount.
Expenditures currently invested in support related services may not be
allowed into the base once this amount has been established.
• For the 2013-14 fiscal year, LEA’s should plan to use their existing
account structure to track concentration and supplement expenditures.
Correcting entries can be made at the end of the year based on the
best information available at that time. Additionally, LEAs may choose
to move expense during the current fiscal year to the new Unrestricted
Resource 0787 – LCAP Sup/Con to track supplement and concentration
costs
• LEAs should plan to use the new Unrestricted Resource 0787 – LCAP
Sup/Con to track supplemental and concentration funds as part of the
2014-15 budget development process
35
Accounting for LCAP
• There are some types of LCFF expenditures,
which may not apply to the state priorities
(e.g., debt service, general administration,
post-employment benefits, etc.). In such cases,
those expenditures would not need to be
included in the LCAP.
