Impact Your District’s LCAP/LCFF
Local Control & Accountability Plan / Local Control Funding Formula

Recent News

It’s time to begin advocacy work at your district level so that your music program can optimally benefit from the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Each January, California school districts begin planning process to determine Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) spending priorities for the next school year.  All California school boards must adopt their Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAP’s) by June 30th.
Last May, CMEA partnered with the other three statewide arts educator associations (4 ArtsEd Orgs) in California, California Art Education Association (CAEA), California Dance Education Association (CDEA), and California Educational Theatre Association (CETA), to create an LCAP Resource to assist our members in engaging with local governing boards to positively impact funding for school arts education via the LCAP.  That part 1 document was entitled:  “Be a Voice with Your Student.”
​
Now, the 4 ArtsEd Orgs are releasing part 2 of this project, entitled:  “The Second Layer:  Delving Deeper Be A Voice with Your Student” provided to assist members with actively engaging in the Local Control Accountability Planning Process at the district level.

These documents will help you align music education goals and priorities in your district with Governor Brown’s Eight Priorities found in the LCAP.  Music educators must get involved in their district’s LCAP advisory meetings so that equal access to music education is provided for students who are socio-economically disadvantaged, English learners, and Foster youth.
