When must the district's LCAP be completed?
Districts are required to adopt their LCAP as part of their annual budget process, which must be completed by June 30 of each year. In addition, school districts are required to present a mid-year update that includes all available mid-year expenditure and implementation data on all actions identified in the LCAP. The mid-year expenditure and implementation data that an LEA reports to its local governing board is locally determined and must be presented on or before the end of February of each year.
Who approves the LCAP?
The district's school board votes to adopt the LCAP. After approval, the county office of education reviews it and may suggest revisions. Ultimately, the California Department of Education reviews county office LCAPs. Input is crucial early in the process due to the rapid pace of finalization.
