LCAP Development Timelines
Effective Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) development requires thoughtful planning across the school year. This page provides guidance on key timelines and milestones to help districts and charter schools organize their efforts—from initial stakeholder engagement to final board approval. While timelines may vary based on local context, the resources shared here offer a general framework to support timely and strategic planning. Additional tools and sample calendars may be added to help teams stay on track and align LCAP development with other district processes.
