A PRESENTATION BY JONATHAN KAPLAN, SENIOR POLICY ANALYST December 2014

Under the prior system, school funding in California:
– Was determined by complicated formulas that dated back to the 1970s. – Included dozens of programs designated for specific purposes (so-called “categorical” programs). – Did not reflect the cost of educating different student populations.
4
The LCFF:
– Eliminates “revenue limits” and nearly all state categorical programs. – Streamlines state K-12 funding and allocates resources based on student needs. – Shifts responsibility for allocation of K-12 funding from the state to school districts.
5
Under the LCFF, the state provides school districts with:
– Uniform base grants per student for four grade spans. – A supplemental grant per student, equal to 20 percent of the base grant, for the unduplicated number of English learners, foster youth, and economically disadvantaged students in each school district. – A concentration grant per student, equal to 50 percent of the base grant, for the unduplicated number of English learners, foster youth, and economically disadvantaged students above 55 percent of school district enrollment.
6
The LCFF creates a target funding level for each school
district.
Full implementation of the LCFF – that is, all school
districts meeting their funding targets – depends on the state increasing spending for schools.
The Legislative Analyst’s Office recently estimated that all
school districts will not reach their funding targets until at least 2020-21.

■ The LCFF provides school districts with greater authority
a “Local Control and Accountability Plan” (LCAP).
■ LCAPs must set district goals in each of eight state
priorities, which include implementation of Common Core State Standards, student achievement, parental involvement, and school climate, among others.
■ LCAPs must specify actions to meet district goals. ■ Specific actions in a school district’s LCAP must be aligned
with the district’s adopted budget, and expenditures must be sufficient to implement actions included in the LCAP.
10
■ Each school board must:
– “Increase or improve services” for disadvantaged pupils in proportion to the increase in funds attributable to these students. – Have adopted an LCAP by July 1, 2014, which will be effective for three years. – Update its LCAP annually prior to adoption of its budget. – Solicit input from various stakeholders, including parents, students, and school employees. – Submit its LCAP for approval to the County Office of Education.
11
■ The LCFF requires the State Board of Education (SBE) to
adopt evaluation rubrics by October 1, 2015.
■ These evaluation rubrics will be used to assess school
district and individual schoolsite performance.
■ As the SBE develops evaluation rubrics, it must adopt
performance standards for each of the eight state priorities described in a district’s LCAP.
12
School districts must provide opportunities for
consultation and comment when developing and updating their LCAPs.
School districts must form parent advisory committees
to provide input on LCAPs. These committees must include parents and/or legal guardians of English learners, foster youth, and economically disadvantaged students.
School district superintendents must respond in writing
to comments made by parent advisory committees.
13
California’s school spending per student has substantially
lagged the rest of the US for at least the past 20 years.
California would have needed to spend an additional
$13.4 billion in 2013-14 to reach the same level of spending per student as the rest of the US.
14
The LCFF fundamentally restructures how California
funds schools and makes state education spending more transparent and rational.
The LCFF aligns education funding with student
needs.
Stakeholder engagement is key to ensuring that
school districts increase or improve services for English learners, foster youth, and economically disadvantaged students.
The LCFF addresses equity issues, but does not in
itself provide adequate school funding.
