REPORT: California’s New Education Funding Formula: What is it? Who benefits? What does it mean for students? How can I get involved?

Share to socials

In July 2013, California dramatically reformed the way we fund our schools. The new law, the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), replaces an outdated and unfair education funding system. In this guide, we provide parents and community leaders with the information they need to ensure that LCFF is not just about local control and flexibility, but also — and most important — about educational justice.

To access this community guide and additional information about LCFF in multiple languages, go to the FairShare4Kids.org website. You will also find:

  • LCFF Explainer Videos
  • District Funding Data Tool
  • LCFF One-Page Overview (English, Spanish & Chinese)
  • LCFF Community PowerPoint Presentation
