Superintendents Speak: Implementing the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
Marsh, Julie A.; Koppich, Julia E.
Policy Analysis for California Education, PACE
Adopted in 2013, the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) provides all districts with base funding plus supplemental and concentration grants for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth. The law eliminated most categorical programs, giving local school systems resource allocation authority and requiring Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs) be developed with input from parents, community members, students, and educators. The policy intends to promote more equitable and coherent resource allocation decisions and to lead to improved and more equitable student outcomes. This report, the next in a series by the Local Control Funding Formula Research Collaborative (LCFFRC), presents survey responses from a statewide representative sample of California superintendents. The survey complements the LCFFRC's four years of in-depth case study work examining the implementation of the LCFF and provides a broad picture of superintendents' views of and experiences with the law. As with previous LCFF research, this survey is designed to help policymakers and others better understand ways in which the LCFF is affecting resource allocation and governance in California's K-12 education system. Results also indicate areas in which changes may be needed. [Partial funding from the California Consortium for Educational Excellence (CCEE).
