LCAP is an acronym for Local Control and Accountability Plan. It's a three-year plan for school districts in California that outlines goals, actions, and budget allocations to improve student outcomes. The LCAP is a key part of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and must be updated annually. 

The LCAP is a way for school districts to share information about: performance data, needs, actions, and anticipated outcomes. 

The LCAP addresses the needs of all students, including specific groups like English learners, foster youth, and low-income students. It also addresses the state's eight priority areas, such as student academic achievement, school climate, and parent engagement.
