Abstract	The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) represents a sea change in the way California funds public education. By directing resources to the students in greatest need, freeing districts from the constraints of categorical programs, and inviting stakeholder participation, the new funding system creates the conditions for districts to advance goals of equity and better serve their local communities. One key component of the LCFF is the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), a state-required document in which each district must describe its goals, the strategies designed to achieve those goals, and the resources allocated to support those strategies. Having completed two rounds of LCAP submissions, district leaders and others around the state have learned much about what the process entails, where it has created the conditions for improved practices and outcomes, and where obstacles remain. This brief draws on reflections from a November 2015 meeting of the California Collaborative on District Reform to provide an overview of some of those struggles, as well as potential remedies, to inform the implementation and refinement of LCFF. The California Collaborative will continue to develop briefs that explore the issues raised here in greater detail. (ERIC).
