Hello Parents,
Yesterday at the PTA meeting, Mrs. Hicks-Rodriguez talked about the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP).
What is LCFF and LCAP? In brief – it is a formula that shifts the decision of how school funds are allocated to the school districts and away from the state level. Here are two presentations one from FUSD and the other from the CA-PTA.

In our case, FUSD will have more inputs on how the funds are distributed with the district. But this also comes with increased accountability and parental involvement. The first part of which is a survey that parents are asked to complete. The survey is here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/
The deadline to complete the survey is February 21st. Please take time to fill out this survey. Thank you!
