Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)
What is the LCAP?
As part of the California funding formula for schools, known as the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), school districts are required to develop, adopt, and annually update a three-year Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) no later than July 1.
The LCAP identifies annual goals, specific actions geared toward implementing those goals, and measures progress for student subgroups across multiple performance indicators based on eight priorities set by the State. The eight state priorities that Lawndale Elementary School District addresses in the LCAP include the following:
- Student Achievement
- Student Engagement
- Other Student Outcomes
- School Climate
- Parental Involvement
- Basic Services
- Implementation of the Common Core Standards
- Course Access
These priorities must be aligned to the district’s spending plan. The responsibility for allocating funds to meet the priorities is given to local governing boards. Once approved by the Board of Trustees, the LCAP will be the basis for expenditures in the District budget for a three year period.
The District consults with stakeholder groups, including LESD's Board of Trustees, School Site Councils, parent advisory groups, students, administrators and each of the school district’s employee associations. LESD appreciates the support and work of the committee members in the monitoring and drafting of the LCAP.
