Dear Select School District and County Office of Education Superintendents and Charter School Administrators:

LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN FEDERAL ADDENDUM

I am writing to update you on the status of the approval of your local educational agency’s (LEA’s) Local Control and Accountability Plan Federal Addendum (LCAP Federal Addendum). As your LEA has completed all requirements regarding their LCAP Federal Addendum, the California Department of Education (CDE) will recommend that the State Board of Education (SBE) approve your LEA’s LCAP Federal Addendum during their meeting on September 10-11, 2020. Once this action is taken by the SBE, your LEA will have an approved LEA Plan as defined in California’s Every Student Succeeds Act State Plan.

The LCAP Federal Addendum is one component of California’s integrated local, state, and federal accountability and continuous improvement system and compliments the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive picture of how funds are used to support students in your LEA. To ensure this information is transparent and available to your stakeholders, the CDE recommends that your LEA posts its approved LCAP Federal Addendum on your LEA website in the same location as your LCAP prior to the September 10-11, 2020 State Board of Education meeting.

If you have any questions regarding this letter, the LCAP Federal Addendum, or the LEA Plan please contact the Local Agency Systems Support Office by email at LCFF@cde.ca.gov.

Sincerely,

Rachael Maves, Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Instruction and Measurement Branch
