LCAP Annual Update Berryessa Union School District Staff Meeting Presentation
Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Overview California s new approach to funding public schools represents the most significant reform in 4 decades. The LCFF streamlines the system and gives school districts more flexibility in how to spend their resources to promote student achievement. Previously, districts received state funds per student based on a revenue limit formula. In addition, much of the funding was restricted and earmarked for categorical programs. Under LCFF, all local education agencies are funded using the same formula. It starts with a base amount per student that is adjusted for grade level and demographics. It also eliminates most of the restrictions on use of funds for categorical programs. O O O
