LCAP Advisory Committee Purpose:

The LCAP Advisory Committee serves to elevate community voice and guide the development of SFUSD’s Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). Its purpose includes reviewing district goals and priorities, advising on actions and services, and monitoring LCAP progress. As required by Education Code § 52063 and Title 5 CCR § 15495(f), the committee must include a majority of parents or legal guardians of currently enrolled students, with specific representation from families of Low-income students, English Learners, Foster Youth, and Students with Disabilities. In addition, members may include students and adults serving on School Site Councils (SSCs) or English Learner Advisory Committees (ELACs). The committee is designed to reflect the geographic and grade-level diversity across SFUSD and SFCOE TK–12 schools.

Representation on the LCAP Advisory Committee is an opportunity for parents and guardians to actively contribute to the formation, growth, and development of the San Francisco Unified School District’s and San Francisco County Office of Education’s Local Control and Accountability Plan. The LCAP is a three-year plan that requires an annual update and is based on feedback from its staff, students, and community members. 

The LCAP aims to ensure that the district addresses all of its students' needs and that the district is meeting the state’s eight LCFF priority areas + two county office requirements: 

• Basic services, Implementation of State Standards, Course Access, Student Achievement, other Student Outcomes, Student Engagement, Parent Involvement, School Climate, Expelled Youth, and Foster Youth. 

In alignment with CA Department of Education guidelines, the LCAP Advisory Committee aims to:

1. Understand SFUSD’s Goals and Priorities
2. Participate in LCAP Development
3. Provide Input on Goals, Actions, and Services
4. Gather and Represent Community Voice
5. Monitor LCAP Progress

School Site Councils (SSCs) and English Learner Advisory Councils (ELACs) may nominate a parent/guardian member to be an LCAP representative for the 2025-2027 term of service on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Advisory Committee. Each school’s SSC should vote to identify its parent/guardian member to nominate for the LCAP Advisory Committee. SSC parent/guardian members may nominate themselves or another parent/guardian member. Each school’s SSC may only nominate ONE parent/guardian member. 

After a school’s SSC has discussed and voted to identify its member nominee, each nominee must complete this application form. Applicants must confirm the date of the SSC meeting when their nomination was discussed and confirmed. If you are not interested in applying at this time but would like to stay informed of this committee’s work, please email burket@sfusd.edu.

If there are more applicants per cohort than available seats, SSC members from the schools within that cohort will vote electronically from the slate of candidates to determine which applicants will be selected to the committee.
