LCAP, LCAP Addendum, and SPSA
- Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is the plan to meet state accountability requirements for schools, and is a requirement of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF).  The LCAP summarizes key outcomes from the school's prior year, reports on how a school did on goals and expenditures set from last year's LCAP goals, and sets goals and expenditures for the next school year. 

- LCAP Addendum and SPSA are the plans to meet federal accountability requirements for schools receiving federal entitlement dollars.  The LCAP Addendum and SPSA documents highlight plans and expenditures associated with federal funding (e.g.; Title I, Title II, Title III, etc...), and are aligned with each school's LCAP.
