all parents. Share your ideas directly with administrators and
school board members. Attend a meeting or volunteer to serve on a
committee. Talk with your childrens teachers and principal about
the new law. Slide 13 What can you do now? Talk with other parents
and connect with your local PTA Download information from your
school districts website or www.capta.orgwww.capta.org Learn more
about the eight key areas of the Local Control and Accountability
Plan (LCAP) and how they can help your child succeed. Slide 14 The
Framework for Your School Districts Local Control and
Accountability Plan http://www.capta.org/lcff Slide 15 Questions to
ask: What is the timetable for creating the LCAP and the Budget?
How will you involve parents and community members? Are parents
receiving information in the languages spoken in the home? Has the
parent advisory committee been selected? When and where will the
committee meetings be held? Do we have an ELAC or DLAC committee?
When will they be giving input into the plan? Slide 16 Additional
questions to ask: How will the plan be shared with parents &
community members? When and where will the public hearing be held?
How and when will you be responding in writing to input as required
by law? At which school board meeting will the LCAP be adopted? How
will you be publicizing the meeting and will you allow adequate
time for community input? How are you planning for next steps?
Annual review process? Slide 17 Speaking up for every child What
happens when you participate in the process but dont get any
traction? When you dont feel the parent voice is being heard?
Continue to have conversations. Bring others to ask the same
questions there is power in numbers. Focus on what you are trying
to accomplish and not on the exact way you think it should be done.
Is there an alternate solution? Is there a compromise? Start at the
beginning and persist. Did you talk to the principal? SSC
president/members? Teachers at the school site? District
Administrator? Superintendent? School Board? Slide 18 Remember this
is not a sprint but a marathon: LCFF is the new way schools receive
funds Plan to get involved and stay involved. Slide 19 Your voice
matters join the conversation! For more information:
