California state law sets out the system for funding public schools. In 2013, California adopted a new formula for determining how much money each school district will receive called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). As part of the state budget process, state leaders largely decide how much money is available to schools each year.
School Boards decide how to use the funds, but under the new system they must get input from their local communities. They also have to tie their budgets to improvement goals by creating a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). The plan is a three-year plan that must be updated annually. It must include both goals for the school district and for each numerically significant subgroup (30 or more ¶¶ÒôÒõapp for all subgroups except foster youth which is 15 or more). The plans must specify the actions a school district will take to achieve these goals and is a State required action and expenditure plan to ensure educational programming aligns to state identified priorities and aligned with the district’s annual budget.

Every three years, school districts are required by the state of California to develop a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) that explains the district's:
¶¶ÒôÒõapp Unified School District engages stakeholders in the LCAP Process. Staff and the LCAP Committee have created the goals, actions, and outcomes that comprise the three year LCAP. This plan describes how the district will support student growth for the coming years.
Each year the district continues to engage stakeholders in the LCAP Annual Update process. This significant work includes an overview of the Local Control Funding Formula, the LCAP and district data.
Together with the LCAP Committee, the draft update to the three-year plan is created. Based on the input received, this plan describes the District’s goals, actions, services and the expenditures that will support student growth for the coming year.
A public hearing is held in June and the annual LCAP will be adopted along with the district's annual budget no later than July 1.
