The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a three year plan that must be developed by school districts and submitted along with the budget by July 1st of each year. The LCAP is a description of the annual goals of each school district, charter school, and county office of education, and describes how each entity will expend its budget to support the district's goals. The LCAP is the accountability tool that was created in June 2013, due to the passage of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), part of the State Budget Act (AB 97 and SB 91). LCFF replaces the revenue limit funding model and categorical funding, and emphasizes a local determination of how the funds are used, with input by school community stakeholders. The LCAP outlines how the eight state priorities will be addressed, and how the identified student subgroups will be served. Prior to Board adoption of the LCAP, a duly noticed Public Hearing must occur at the same Governing Board meeting as the Public Hearing for the District's Budget. This occurred on June 12, 2014. Insofar as the required timelines and processes as set forth in the California Education Code Section 52062 have been met, staff hereby requests Governing Board adoption of the District's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), as presented.
