Abstract: When California lawmakers enacted the state's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) in 2013, they took ambitious steps towards advancing educational equity. After more than a decade of implementation, it is time for the legislature to fine tune this policy, building on the state's progress. Advancing the equity commitments of LCFF has become even more important given the recent erosion of federal support for public education. Grounded in recommendations from a group of knowledgeable and civically engaged Californians--education leaders, advocates, and community leaders--this report describes the changes that are necessary to strengthen the state's approach to equity and accountability in public education. Through their recommendations, these participants called attention to the continued need to address the educational impacts of persistent opportunity gaps both inside and outside schools.
