Legislation enacted in 2013–14 made major changes both to the way the state allocates funding to school districts and the way the state supports and intervenes in under-performing districts. The legislation was the culmination of more than a decade of research and policy work on California's K–12 funding system. In addition to creating a new funding formula, the 2013–14 package of legislation establishes a set of new rules relating to school district transparency and accountability. Specifically, under the new rules, districts are required to adopt Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs). Districts that do not meet the goals specified in their LCAPs and fail to improve educational outcomes are to receive assistance through a new system of support and intervention.

 

The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP) replaced the Local Control and Accountability Plan for the 2020-21 school year. The LCP provides information on how student learning continuity was addressed during the COVID-19 crisis.
