Questions & Answers

1. The new Local Control Funding Formula moved many decisions about allocating funding from the state to the local school boards; how well has the District followed the spirit of the Formula in identifying what our children need? Would you change anything in the process of developing the Local Control (LCAP) budget for next year?

In first year of implementation of LCAP, Emery did a solid job of developing a budget based on priorities identified by stake holders. This year, we hope to increase community participation in the process.
