LCAP—From Accountability to Compliance

The 2026-27 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) is the third and final year of the current three-year cycle. While there will be no changes to the template itself, all local educational agencies (LEAs) should plan to include Learning Recovery Emergency Block Grant funds that were provided in the 2025-26 Enacted Budget. To be successful in our state’s accountability system, LEAs must meaningfully engage with educational partners in the thoughtful review of student needs and the development of LCAP goals and actions, be transparent regarding the achievement gaps that exist in their schools, and use the resources provided to ensure that the neediest students are receiving increased and improved services.

Whether you are new to the LCAP or want a refresher, this webinar will be helpful to provide an overview of the accountability system and a step-by-step walkthrough of the template—including the action tables and the integrated Annual Update. The webinar will provide examples of both quantitative and qualitative actions for meeting the minimum proportionality percentage (MPP), as well as how to calculate your MPP and a review of, and the requirements for, the carryover of supplemental and concentration grant funds. Participants also will learn about the 2025 California School Dashboard (Dashboard) and the latest news from the State Board of Education.

Who Should Attend?

School districts, county offices of education, and charter schools are encouraged to send a team, including instructional leaders, human resources professionals, fiscal personnel, and key program staff. The information presented in this workshop will allow you to maximize the flexibility the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) provides while working to improve services to your neediest students and close the achievement gap.
