LCAP - Information & Overview
What is the Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP)?
The LCAP is a three-year plan that describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student outcomes that address state and local priorities. The LCAP provides an opportunity for local educational agencies (LEAs: county office of education [COE], school districts, and charter schools) to share their stories of how, what, and why programs and services are selected to meet their local needs.
What information does the LCAP contain?
The components of the LCAP for the 2026-2027 LCAP year must be posted as one document assembled in the following order:
- Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Budget Overview for Parents
- Plan Summary
- Engaging Educational Partners
- Goals and Actions
- Increased or Improved Services for Foster Youth, English Learners, and Low-income students
- Action Tables
- Instructions
California Education Code (EC) sections 52065 and 47606.5(i) require that all LCAPs approved by the governing board or body of the LEA be prominently posted on the homepage of the internet website of the LEA.
