The state’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) replaced California’s finance system for K-12 schools in 2013. LCFF provides school districts like Pittsburg Unified School District with base funding and additional funding based on the number of low-income, English learner, and foster youth served.

School districts are required to produce a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), a three-year plan that demonstrates how increased resources are linked to meeting the needs of all students.

What is LCAP?

"I really liked this class because it cleared up a few questions I had regarding the system and structure and how I can better help my kids." — Cassandra Frith

"Preparing for a lifetime of learning because I was able to learn when and how I should start planning my kids for college. The School Smarts Parent Academy is the best because we've learned a lot from this program. All of the information we need for our student's success is covered in School Smarts." — Geraldine Abalos

"The importance they give us, the parents, to get more involved in the academic development of our children." — Irma Martinez

"Learning new things and exchanging experiences and ideas with parents from other schools." — Valeria Lopez Cruz
