Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)

The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a tool used by California school districts to outline their educational goals, strategies, and funding allocations. It allows districts to engage with parents, teachers, and the community to identify local needs and priorities. The LCAP focuses on improving student outcomes, particularly for underrepresented groups, by setting measurable objectives. Each district must assess its progress annually and report on how effectively it is meeting its goals and using funds, ensuring transparency and accountability in achieving a better education for all students.
