Local Control Funding Formula Accountability Councils — Did You Get the Memo?

January 11, 2014 by K12NN Site Admin

Facebooktwitterredditlinkedinmail

K-12 News Network has obtained an email that the United Way sent to its partner groups advertising an informational session held by Superintendent John Deasy that will provide details on the rollout of Local Control Funding Formula councils. These councils, part of Local Control Accountability Plans, must by law include community members, parents, teachers, and others who will participate in determining funding priorities for Los Angeles Unified schools. They will be expected to review preliminary budgets and provide feedback and oversight so that foster children, those from low-income backgrounds, English language learners, and special ed learners will receive the extra funds mandated by Proposition 30 set aside for their education.

This meeting is Monday, January 13, 2014. Did you get the memo? How has the outreach been to you, parents and community members in LAUSD’s many sub-districts?

If you didn’t “get the memo,” are the grasstops — community groups that get funding from the United Way — seemingly the only ones that are looped in to this kind of information? Are the grassroots — every day parents, teachers, and other people who care about public education — getting this same kind of information and access? How has outreach been, LAUSD grassroots?

What do you say, Los Angeles Unified parents? If you aren’t prepared or able to serve on a Parent Advisory Council, do you know who does, so you can have a voice in the process?

    This memo definitely missed my inbox. United Way GLA has certainly not ever contacted me. They are a partisan, commercial organization with no links to ‘parents’ inherently. Those with whom they are in touch are hand-selected sympathetic partisans. it is inappropriate to filter broad-based, general information through a private, partisan organization.
