League of Women Voters Explains Changes in Education Funding
The
League of Women Voters Beach Cities is co-sponsoring a public forum to provide
information on the upcoming funding changes to K-12 Public Schools.
The event will provide background information and include a panel of
superintendents & administrators from local school districts to outline
what it means to the children and families in our communities.
For
the first time in 40 years, California is changing its funding formula for K-12
public schools. Effective July 1, 2013, after many years of research, policy
development and community input, Governor Brown signed the Local Control
Funding Formula (LCFF) into law. With
the implementation of LCFF, each school district must work with parents and
other community stakeholders to develop a Local Control Accountability Plan
(LCAP). This plan will outline intended
outcomes and guide each District on the expenditure of the new monies available
to them.
