Local Control Funding Formula
• Historic reform to education funding
• Redistribution of funds
• Funding based on grade level grants and
demographic data for each district
• Funding targets will be phased in over an estimated
8-year period
• Creates new accountability for how all students are
served, and in particular, sub-groups
5
How is LCFF different from what was in
place under revenue limits?
• Simplifies funding
• Revenue limits and most state categoricals are
eliminated
• Districts, county offices of education, and charter
schools will receive funding based on the students
they serve, with greater flexibility to use these funds
to improve outcomes of students
• Assumes continued state economic growth

LCFF Target
Increased funding to districts for 2013-14 is 11.8% of the gap. The Governor’s Budget
proposes to fund 28% of the revised gap for 2014-15. Expected full phase in over 8
years depending on state economic growth.
Certification of Student Data
• SB 97 requires COEs to “review and validate reported
English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price
meal eligible pupil data for school districts and charter
schools under its jurisdiction to ensure the data is reported
accurately.”
• To assist COEs, CALPADS will include school-level reports
that display the aggregate unduplicated counts of
disadvantaged students for each district and charter school
within the county.
• Fall 1 certification deadlines were mid-December 2013.
Close of amendment window will be early February 2014
12
Important Considerations
• The amount of revenue limit and categorical funds
in 2012-13 is the starting point for LCFF.
– No LEA will receive less than this amount.
• Total revenues received will fluctuate proportionate
to changes in ADA and changes in unduplicated
pupils.
• Full implementation of LCFF is estimated to occur
over an 8-year period.
13
Supplemental/Concentration
Grant Funds
Supplemental and Concentration Grant Funds are
generated by the number of English Learner (EL), Low
Income (LI) and Foster Youth (FY) students in the district,
charter, or county office of education. Collectively, these
students are referred to as “unduplicated pupils” in the
statute and regulations.
Regulations adopted by January 31, 2014:
– Will require district, county office of education or charter to
“increase or improve services for EL/LI/FY pupils as
compared to the services provided to all pupils in proportion
to the increase in funds apportioned on the basis of the
number and concentration of unduplicated pupils.”
14
Definition of Services
“Services” as used in Education Code section
42238.07 may include, but are not limited to, services
associated with the delivery of instruction,
administration, facilities, pupil support services,
technology, and other general infrastructure necessary
to operate and deliver educational instruction and
related services.
15
Proportionality Percentage Estimates
• The State Board of Education provides regulations
that describe the methodology of determining the
proportional increase or improvement in services for
unduplicated pupils.
• LEAs will estimate their proportion using current and
accurate local enrollment projections performed in the
spring for use in their LCAP adoption process.
– ADA, by grade level
– Total enrollment
– Total unduplicated pupils
16
Calculating the Proportionality Percentage
For Districts and Charters, begin with the FCMAT
LCFF Calculator:
• Calculate the estimated LCFF Funding Target, (Cell Q16,
of the Calculator Tab), of the FCMAT LCFF Calculator
• Calculate the 2014-15 Total LCFF Funding (Q78, of the
Calculator Tab), of the FCMAT LCFF Calculator
http://www.fcmat.org/stories/storyReader$23157
17
Calculating the Proportionality Percentage
1. Calculate the LCFF supplemental and concentration grant targets,
at full implementation (Cell O16 + P16, of the Calculator Tab), of the FCMAT
LCFF Calculator.
2. Determine prior year expenditures to support unduplicated pupils.
 No less than the amount of EIA expended in 2012-13
3. Subtract the estimated 2013-14 expenditures from the
supplemental and concentration grant target.
4. Multiply the difference by the Department of Finance’s gap
percentage funding for the year in which the LCAP is adopted.
18
Calculating the Proportionality Percentage
(continued)
5.
6.
7.
8.
19
Add to the LEA’s prior year estimated expenditures from step 2.
Subtract the amount in step 5 from the total LCFF funding in 201415.
Divide the approximate amount from step 5 by the amount in
step 6.
If the amount in step 3 is less than or equal to zero, or when the
LCFF is fully implemented statewide, then the proportion is
calculated by dividing the total supplemental and concentration
grants at target by the remainder of the LCFF funding, excluding
add-ons for TIIG and H-S Transportation.

Section 1: Plan how stakeholders
will be involved
A governing board of a school district shall consult
with teachers, principals, administrators, other school
personnel, local bargaining units of the school district,
parents, and pupils in developing a local control and
accountability plan. [EC 52060(g)]
25
LCAP Template
Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement
• Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and
other stakeholders, including those representing the
subgroups identified in Education Code section
52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process.
– Be certain to engage parents/families of subgroups with
30 or more students in the LCAP development process.
– Education Code section 48985 states that if 15 percent
or more of the pupils enrolled in one of the public
schools speak a single primary language other than
English, parents and families must be provided with
translations to ensure meaningful participation.
26
LCAP Instructions
• Describe the process used to engage parents,
pupils, and the community and how this engagement
contributed to development of the LCAP or annual
update.
• Use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits)
for completing the information as required by statute.
Guiding questions do not require separate narrative
responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be
consistent with the school accountability card
where appropriate.
27
Guiding Questions from LCAP Template
1. How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining
units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child
welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services
programs, court-appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster
parents, education rights holders and other foster youth
stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations
representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been
engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting
implementation of the LCAP?
2. How have stakeholders been included in the LEA’s process in a
timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of
the LCAP?
28
Guiding Questions from LCAP Template
(continued)
3. What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics)
was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities
and used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process?
4. What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption
as a result of written comments or other feedback received by
the LEA through any of the LEA’s engagement processes?
5. What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements
for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code
sections 52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with
representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code
section 42238.01?
6. In the annual update, how has the involvement of these
stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to
29
the state priorities?

Definition of “consult”
The determination of curriculum content, the selection of
instructional materials, and the use of instructional
technology are subject to the duty to "consult" under
Government Code Section 3543.2(a).
"Consultation" (also known as "meet and confer") involves
the free exchange of information, opinions, informal
proposals, and recommendations according to orderly
procedures in a conscientious effort to incorporate such
recommendations into the resulting policy or plan.
34
The Fiscal Report (2013)
School Services of California, Inc.
Obligation to “negotiate”
While LEAs have an obligation to "consult," they do
not have an obligation to "meet and negotiate"
implementation decisions. "Establishing educational
policies, goals and objectives," "determining
curriculum," and "establishing budgetary priorities and
allocations" are all fundamental management
prerogatives not within the mandatory scope of
bargaining…
35

School Services of California, Inc.
Obligation to “negotiate”
(continued)
However, if such decisions would have a
foreseeable impact on negotiable "terms and
conditions of employment" for bargaining unit
members, a school district or COE is required to
negotiate the "effects" or "impacts" of these
decisions on negotiable subjects, including for
example, hours of employment and compensation for
professional development.

Section 2: Identifying goals linked to
state priorities
For school districts, Education Code sections 52060
and 52061, for county offices of education, Education
Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter
schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s)
the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals,
for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each
state priority and any local priorities and require the
annual update to include a review of progress towards
the goals and describe any changes to the goals.
42
LCAP Instructions
• Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward
meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for
the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year,
a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an
identified metric.
• Charter schools may adjust the chart on Slide 50 to align with the
term of the charter school’s budget that is submitted to the
school’s authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33.
The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs
must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly
references as required elements for measuring progress within a
particular state priority area.
• Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional
local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities.
43
LCAP Instructions
(continued)
• The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same
goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also
indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school
site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific
goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with
disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school
site level.
• To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall
identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local
priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code
section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input
requested from, school site-level advisory groups (e.g., school-site councils,
English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate
alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA
may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being
undertaken to meet the goal.

For school districts, Education Code sections 52060
and 52061, for county offices of education, Education
Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter
schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require the
LCAP to include a description of the specific actions
an LEA will take to meet the goals identified.
Additionally Education Code section 52604 requires a
listing and description of the expenditures required to
implement the specific actions.
61
LCAP Instructions
• Identify annual actions to be performed to meet the goals described in
Section 2, and describe expenditures to implement each action, and where
these expenditures can be found in the LEA’s budget. Actions may describe
a group of services that are implemented to achieve identified goals. The
actions and expenditures must reflect details within a goal for the specific
subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with
disabilities, and for specific school sites as applicable.
• In describing the actions and expenditures that will serve low-income,
English learner, and/or foster youth pupils as defined in Education Code
section 42238.01, the LEA must identify whether supplemental and
concentration funds are used in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or

supplemented by information contained in other plans
(including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of
Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110).
91

required under ESEA.
• The SBE will take steps to minimize duplication of
effort at the local level to the greatest extent
possible. (EC Section 52064)
• LEAs in Program Improvement must continue to
meet current LEA Plan requirements. [EC Section
1116(c)(7)]
92
