California's Local Control Accountability Plans

California’s Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs) are strategic plans that local school districts develop annually to detail how they will improve student outcomes. They involve input from families, students, and community members to identify priorities like academic achievement, safety, and support services. The LCAP outlines goals, actions, and budgets to ensure resources are focused on areas needing improvement. This process promotes transparency, community engagement, and accountability, ensuring schools effectively use funds to support all students’ learning and well-being.
