Westwood Unified School District

Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)

Stakeholder and Feedback Form

 

We want to hear from you!

 

In 2013, California adopted a new formula for deciding how funding is distributed to school districts, called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF).

 

The LCFF requires that districts develop, with feedback from parents, students, staff and other stakeholders, a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) that describes our vision for students, goals and specific actions and resources the district will use to achieve these goals.

 

The LCAP will align to eight priorities set forth by the California State Board of Education and include goals related to local priorities.
