Pasadena Unified LCAP Parent Advisory Committee Applications Due March 14



The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) along with other California school districts is transitioning to the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) funding model, radically changing how schools are funded in the state of California. LCFF provides new decision-making power to local school districts to act based on the needs they see for students. In addition, this shifts California from treating funding as an input to support students to a resource that is linked to performance expectations.

To ensure that parents have a voice in the process, a Parent Advisory Committee has been created to advise the district in the creation of its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) which will dictate how PUSD will spend the money allocated under LCFF. The deadline for parents to submit an application to serve on the LCAP Parent Advisory Committee is Friday, March 14, 2014. The Parent Advisory Committee will serve as one of two parent advisories to review the district’s draft and final LCAP as determined by state law. The District English Learners Advisory Committee (DELAC) will serve as the second LCAP advisory group.

Any PUSD parent or guardian who lives in or pays property taxes within the PUSD boundaries is eligible to be on the committee. Applications are available at www.gopusd.com/LCAP or in the PUSD Family Resource Center located in Room 121 at the PUSD Education Center, 351 South Hudson Ave., Pasadena. Completed applications may be submitted via email to familycenter@pusd.us or delivered to the PUSD Family Resource Center by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 14, 2014.
