Local Control Accountability Plan

School districts are required to engage parents, students, teachers, administrators, and other school personnel to develop, adopt, and annually update a three-year Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The LCAP describes how the district will spend funds and outlines the goals for improving student outcomes in accordance with eight priorities set by the State of California. A 2023-2024 update for the 2021-2024 LCAP and the 2024-2027 LCAP containing the Budget Overview for Parents were prepared for and approved by the Board of Trustees.

LCAP Federal Addendum

On June 1, 2021 the Board of Trustees approved a Schoolwide Plan (SWP) Waiver and authorized the Superintendent to utilize Title I funds to operate as a SWP School based on the criteria that SWP is the best way to serve the student population. In the FUHSD, Title I, II, III, and IV funds are utilized in support of students who are unhoused, foster youth, under-resourced, English Language Learners and migrant students. The Federal Addendum addresses how parents, teachers and administrators work together to identify students for targeted assistance. The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Federal Addendum is meant to supplement the LCAP to ensure that eligible Districts have the opportunity to meet the provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). California’s ESSA State Plan significantly shifts the state’s approach to the utilization of federal resources in support of underserved student groups. The LCAP Federal Addendum provides Districts with the opportunity to document their approach to maximizing the impact of federal investments in support of underserved students.

On July 1, 2013 State of California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a new formula for how California public schools will be funded beginning in the 2014-2015 school year. This law is the most significant change to school district funding in past decades and makes fundamental changes to how state revenues are allocated to schools. When fully implemented the new formula will allocate educational funds based on the demographic profile of the students a district serves and will allow maximum flexibility at the local level.

At the core of this change is the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) that allows for greater local control and decision-making. The LCFF provides additional resources for students with the greatest needs including low income, English language learners, and foster youth. The formula also requires that school districts align their goals and actions with their budget and expenditures. Each of these areas --- appropriate resource allocation and aligning our actions with our budget --- has long been of paramount importance to the Fremont Union High School District.

As part of the LCFF, school districts are required to engage parents, students, teachers, administrators, and other school personnel to develop, adopt, and annually update a three-year Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The LCAP describes how the district will spend funds and outlines the goals for improving student outcomes in accordance with eight priorities set by the State of California.

The new state funding formula and accountability plan will not change the existing and enduring commitment of the Fremont Union High School District to educate capable, caring, contributing citizens for life. These new state requirements allow us to build upon our dedication to involve all stakeholders to provide the best possible education for our students.

Each year, a new LCAP is prepared with multiple meetings taking place to gather stakeholder feedback.
