Santa Barbara Advocates Respond to District LCAP

published by CAAEStaff on May 29, 2014 - 9:50am

As part of the new Local Control Funding Formula, every school district in California is required to release a draft Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and invite public feedback before plans are finalized on June 30.
Members of the newly formed Santa Barbara Alliance for Arts Education (SBAEA) wrote a joint feedback letter in response to SBUSD’s draft LCAP plan. Then members of the group attended the SBUSD school board meeting and read their letter to the board. We’ve posted their letter on our website – it offers a great example of how to provide constructive, specific feedback on a draft LCAP. Check your district website for draft plans and dates of upcoming meetings. Connect with your parent advisory committee members, district representatives and board members to share comments on the draft LCAP.
