SUMMARY:

January 31, 2017, to consider revising the template for the
local control and accountability plan (LCAP) to include a

section or appendix sufficient to monitor actual progress on
outcomes related to the evaluation rubric adopted by the SBE.
Also requires each school district and county office of
education (COE) to post on its Internet Web site its populated
evaluation rubric, if available.
FISCAL EFFECT:
1)General Fund administrative costs to CDE and SBE staff of
approximately $70,000 to revise the LCAP template and the
instructions to the template. These costs include legal
review, stakeholder and public meetings, and technology
services workload related to revising the LCAP electronic
template.
2)Unknown, likely minor, Proposition 98/GF reimbursable state
mandated costs for school districts and COEs to post the
populated evaluation rubric on the district or COE's website,
to the extent a website is available.
COMMENTS:
Purpose. LCAPs and the evaluation rubrics provide accountability
under the local control funding formula (LCFF). School
districts and COEs are required to identify specific performance
goals in their LCAPs, then, in the updated LCAP for the
subsequent year, report on the extent to which they achieved the
prior year goals. Existing law requires each district and COE
to develop its LCAP using the SBE-adopted template and post it
on their Internet Web site, if they have one. Meanwhile, the
SBE is required to adopt standards for achievement and
expectations for improvement in each of the eight state
priorities. However, the goals in each LCAP are locally set and
need not reflect the state level standards and expectations
adopted by the SBE.

This bill requires the SBE, by January 31, 2017, to consider a
revision to the LCAP template to include a section or appendix
to monitor each district's or COEs progress with respect to the
SBE-adopted standards and expectations for improvement. If the
SBE adopts such a revision, then the LCAP of each district and
COE will reflect how well it has performed relative to state
goals as well as to its own locally-set goals.
