The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) aren’t perfect. They have the potential to foster equity in education and create lasting impacts for schools, but obstacles can stand in the way. Creating and implementing plans can be draining for admins, staff, and teachers. Meanwhile, LCAP California legislators and stakeholders are pushing for more transparency of spending, as well as academic improvement for vulnerable students.
The pressure to come up with quick results often means that LCFF budgets go towards things that don’t support continuous learning. Boxes of books, software, and devices collect dust in many schools. Staff development for educators and lessons for students can be short-lived, with outcomes that are hard to measure.
Technology is capable of addressing these issues. For it to be useful in schools, tech providers need to build resources around educators’ individual needs, provide external support, and create a framework for collaboration.
