Board Adopted LCAP
The 2022-23 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) was approved at the June 29, 2022 Special Board Meeting/Workshop.
Funding & Budget
As a public K-12 school, Chico Unified School District receives revenue from a number of sources:
- California Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
- Federal Revenue
- Other State Revenue
- Other Local Revenue
The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) applies to one of these funding sources - the California Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). The LCFF funding model specifically addresses students that the State of California has identified as students with greater needs:
- English Learners
- Low Income and
- Homeless/Foster Youth Students
School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
The purpose of the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is to coordinate all educational services at the school.
The SPSA serves as the organizer for an individual school’s improvement process. The Plan should be developed with a deeper understanding of root causes of student academic challenges and identify and implement research-based instructional strategies to raise the achievement of students who are not yet proficient at state standards (based on the California State Dashboard information).
School Site Council members develop and annually review the School Plan for Student Achievement, establish an annual budget and make modifications in the plan to reflect changing needs and priorities at the school. School Site Council are comprised of an even number of school staff and parent/guardians who are elected by their peers at the beginning of each school year.
CA State LCAP Priorities
Since the Local Control Accountability Plan is funded by California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), the State has identified the priorities that need to be included in the LCAP. All goals outlined in the LCAP must focus on the following eight State identified priorities:
- Basic Services (Conditions of Learning)
- State Standards (Conditions of Learning)
- Parent Involvement (Engagement)
- Student Achievement (Pupil Outcomes)
- Student Engagement (Engagement)
- School Climate (Engagement)
- Course Access (Conditions of Learning)
- Other Student Outcomes (Pupil Outcomes)
The
Local Control Accountability Plan only address students that the State of California has identified as students with greater needs:
- English Learners
- Low Income and
- Homeless/Foster Youth students

OPPORTUNTIES FOR ENGAGEMENT
2022-23 LCAP Meetings
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the accompanying Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), are new opportunities to engage with our Chico Unified families. The LCFF requires that we study data, consider best practices, understand our own needs, and discuss how to best invest in our students with the resources available to us. Meetings are held on an annual basis (usually in the spring) and public input is gathered during these meetings.
School Site Councils
Parents/Guardians can also provide LCAP input by participating in their student's School Site Council Meeting. If you are interested in learning about the School Site Council, please speak with you student's school office.
