| The LCAP and the district budget must be presented at a public hearing prior to the board meeting at which the LCAP and the budget are adopted. The LCAP must be approved by the local school board at the same meeting, but prior to adoption of the district budget. The Beverly Hills Unified School District LCAP, followed by the budget, will be presented for approval at the June 21, 2018 Board Meeting. Not later than five days after adoption of the LCAP, the governing board shall file the LCAP with the Los Angeles County superintendent of schools.
As part of the LCFF, school districts, COEs, and charter schools are required to develop, adopt, and annually update a three-year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) beginning on July 1, 2017, using a template that was adopted by the California State Board of Education (SBE) in January 2014. In addition, the SBE is required to adopt evaluation rubrics to assist LEAs and oversight entities in evaluating strengths, weaknesses, areas that require improvement, technical assistance needs, and where interventions are warranted on or before October 1, 2016. Subsequent revisions to the template or evaluation rubrics are required to be approved by the SBE by January 31 before the fiscal year in which the template or rubric would be used. The LCAP is required to identify goals and measure progress for student subgroups across eight state priority areas. Districts must include in their LCAP (1) actions, services and expenditures for all students and subgroups and (2) additional actions and services for “unduplicated pupils” including low-income students, English learners, foster youth and redesignated English learners. The superintendent must review the Single Plan for Student Achievement from school sites to ensure the actions in the LCAP are consistent with strategies in school plans submitted pursuant to education code 64001. |

BHUSD Local Control Accountability Plan & Annual Update 2018

|
|
| Pursuant Education Code 42103 and 42127, the Beverly Hill Unified School District's proposed 2018-19 Budget will be placed on the agenda for public hearing to allow members of the public an opportunity for input prior to the budget adoption. A recommendation will be made to have the Board of Education take action to adopt the District's 2018-19 Budget at the next regular meeting on June 21, 2018.
With the continued implementation of the Local Control Funding Formula and the Local Control Accountability Plan, the District has analyzed its anticipated budget for the 2018-19 fiscal year. The District anticipates continued certification as a Community Funded District, meaning that the District will receive the majority of its funding through local property tax collections. The District continues to experience decreased enrollment/ADA and increased assessed valuation which reflects an increase in property tax dollars.

| The Williams Uniform Complaint Quarterly Report Summary must be presented to the Board of Education for approval each quarter (October 20, 2017; January 19, 2018; April 20, 2018; and July 20, 2018).
Upon approval by the Board of Education, the report is then forwarded to the Los Angeles County Superintendent for approval. Attached is the report summary for April 1, 2018 - June 30, 2018.
All schools in California are affected by new laws that are the result of the Williams lawsuit settlement. Known as the "Williams legislation," the laws seek to ensure that all students have equal access to the basics of a quality education: textbooks, safe and decent school facilities and qualified teachers. The laws focus on the state's lowest-performing schools, defined as those ranked in deciles 1-3 of the 2003 base Academic Performance Index. Williams creates an expanded role for the county superintendent of schools to monitor and report on low-performing schools.
In Los Angeles County, Superintendent and his staff at LACOE are responsible for:
- Conducting annual visits of the county's 600 low-performing schools.
- Determining whether students have access to sufficient instructional materials and whether buildings are safe, clean and functional.
- Monitoring whether teachers have proper classroom assignments and certifications.
- Verifying the accuracy of School Accountability Report Cards relevant to instructional materials and facilities maintenance.
- Reporting to the governing board of each school district, the county board of education and the county board of supervisors on the state of these schools. |
