This document provides an overview of California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). It outlines how LCFF has transformed state support for local education agencies by empowering districts with decision-making authority and linking funding to performance expectations. The LCAP is presented as a crucial vehicle for transparency and engagement, requiring districts to articulate and share performance data, identified needs, planned actions, and anticipated outcomes related to their use of state funding.

This document outlines the Golden Valley Unified School District's policy for its Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). The LCAP is an annual, data-driven planning process focused on identifying goals and actions to ensure the effective use of funding to improve outcomes for all students, particularly unduplicated students and at-risk subgroups. It emphasizes continuous improvement of district practices, alignment with the budget, and addressing state and local priorities. The development process requires extensive consultation with teachers, principals, administrators, employee bargaining units, parents/guardians, and students.
