State and Federal Accountability

The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)

The LCAP is a three-year plan that describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student outcomes that address state and local priorities. 

 

The LCAP provides an opportunity for local educational agencies (LEAs) to share their stories of how, what, and why programs and services are selected to meet their local needs.

 

The components of the LCAP include (in the following order):

  • LCFF Budget Overview for Parents
  • Plan Summary
  • Engaging Educational Partners
  • Goals and Actions
  • Increased or Improved Services for Foster Youth, English Learners, and Low-income students
  • Action Tables
  • Instructions

School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs)

The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is a strategic plan designed to maximize school resources and align all school-level planning efforts into a single, coordinated plan for programs funded through the Consolidated Application (ConApp), as required by California Education Code Section 64001 and the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

 

Each school develops its SPSA based on a comprehensive needs assessment, which analyzes state and local data on student academic achievement. Using this data, schools establish goals aligned with the district’s Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) to improve student outcomes and address the specific needs of student groups.

 

The SPSA identifies evidence-based strategies, actions, and services to meet these needs, and its implementation is monitored throughout the year by the School Site Council to ensure effectiveness in improving student achievement.

 

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)

The School Accountability Report Card (SARC) is a state and federally mandated report designed to provide educational partners with information about public schools. Established by state law in 1988 and reinforced under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the SARC enables families to make informed decisions by comparing schools on a variety of performance and operational measures.

 

A typical SARC includes a school profile outlining the school’s mission, goals, and achievements, along with required data on demographics, school safety, academic performance, student completion rates, class sizes, teacher and staff qualifications, curriculum and instruction, college and career preparation, and fiscal expenditures.

 

The SARC serves as a communication tool, providing transparency on how schools are performing and progressing toward their goals.
