2016-17 LCAP Infographic
A high-level look at the document
Districts around the state of California acknowledge that communicating about the LCAP is a major challenge. From the California Collaborative for District Reform’s July 2016 report:
Many districts have responded to communication challenges by developing their own supplemental materials; executive summaries have emerged as one strategy for making LCAP information more accessible. District approaches vary widely, and little information exists in the field about how to create useful documents or outreach materials.
Please take a moment to review SCUSD’s one-page infographic that captures the highlights of the document. This document describes the actions, services and expenditures that are in place for the 2016-17 school year.

Local Control Funding Formula
California’s 2013-14 Budget Act included landmark legislation that greatly simplified the state’s school finance system. The changes introduced by the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) represent a major shift in how California funds Local Educational Agencies (LEAs). Under LCFF, California funds school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education equally per student with adjustments based on grade levels and demographic characteristics. LCFF replaces complexity in favor of equity, transparency, and continuous improvement.
