More LCFF/LCAP resources to help you

LCFF/LCAP are huge opportunities for us to shape the vision for our children’s education.

LEARN MORE AND GET INVOLVED

Here are a number of great resources to learn more and to get engaged:

  • Your local school district’s website – A good place to start to learn about your school district’s LCFF and LCAP timeline and process as well as programs and services at your school. Be sure to look at the School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs) that must be posted for each school to understand where your students and district stands now.
  • EdSource.org – Offers a guide to the LCFF along with news and information about California K-12 finance system. EdSource also offers an LCFF Tracker to investigate the implementation of the LCFF at various school districts across California.

And even more great resources, videos, comprehensive information and tools are available:
