Posted: April 10, 2025
Approved by the Board of Directors on April 7, 2025.
The California County Superintendents developed and released the first Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Approval Manual in March 2014. The current version of the LCAP Approval Manual makes changes to the 2024-25 edition. This manual provides a guide for county offices of education (COEs) to use in their LCAP oversight and approval process. It represents a collaboration of the California County Superintendents’ Business and Administration Services Committee (BASC) and Curricular and Improvement Support Committee (CISC), with the assistance of staff from the California Department of Education (CDE) and the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT).
