Basic Tenets of LCFF

• Provides significant new funding linked to eligible students needs

• English Learners (EL)

• Low income Pupils (LI)

• Foster Youth

• Coupled with broad-based, multiple measures of student success

• Highly compatible with long-established charter school models in California

The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)

Major change to California’s long-standing approach to funding K-12

education

Before LCFF After LCFF

Revenue Limits LCFF base funding differentiated by grade span

Charter Block Grant Unduplicated pupil weights, including

concentration funding

K-3 class size reduction limited

address all required metrics for every state

priority in each LCAP year, as applicable.

The required metrics are the specified measures

and objectives for each state priority as set forth

in Education Code sections 52060(d).

For the pupil engagement priority metrics, LEAs

must calculate the rates specified in Education

Code sections 52060(d)(5)(B), (C), (D) and (E)

Evaluation Rubrics(E.C. 52064.5)

• Purpose:

• Create evaluation rubrics to evaluate strengths and weaknesses

and inform support and assistance related to state and local

priorities

• Process:

• Broad input – Rubric Design Group, regional input sessions,

policy input sessions, additional stakeholder engagement

• Transparency – Conceptual Example (January 2015), Draft (March

2015 ), Update and Resource Examples (May 2015), Final for

Review (July 2015), Final for Adoption (September 2015)

• Outcome:

• Adoption of evaluation rubrics by October 1, 2015

41

Evaluation Rubrics Statutory Requirements

• To assist LEAs to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas that

require improvement

• To assist County Offices of Education to identify school districts and

charter schools in need of technical assistance

• To assist the SSPI in identifying school districts for which

intervention is warranted

• To reflect a holistic, multidimensional assessment of school district

and individual school site performance and include all of the state

priorities

• To include standards for school district and individual school site

performance and expectation for improvement in regard to each of

the state priorities

LCFF Big Ideas

The changes introduced by LCFF represent a major shift

in how California funds LEAs.

LCFF replaces complexity in favor of equity, transparency,

and performance.

In conjunction with the new funding formula, California

adopted a new system of support and technical

assistance.

Founded on annual plans and evaluation rubrics.

Builds on continuous improvement model of

accountability.

45

This figure shows the elements and their connections to form California’s emerging accountability system. From left to

right are Classroom and School Practices, Local Accountability Processes, and State Accountability Process. Each element is

shown as an equal sized circle with a trailing tail that wrap around parts of the other elements. The tails do not fully

connect, but together form a complete system.

46

Next Steps in the Process

Input from SBE and public comments to refine draft

Regional input and policy input sessions scheduled for

end of March through early April

Focused input sessions with students, parents, and

alternative schools, and small districts are planned

Upcoming 2015 SBE meetings:

May 2015: Overview of Practice Guides and complementary

resources; updates from stakeholder input

July 2015: Revised Evaluation Rubrics, with online preview

September 2015: Final Evaluation Rubrics for adoption
