Based on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), which was passed in 2013, California has a new accountability system that is based on multiple measures. These measures are used to determine Local Educational Agency (LEA) and school progress, suspension rates, and parent engagement.

The sweeping overhaul of California's Accountability and Continuous Improvement System, ushered in with the 2013 passage of LCFF, not only gives California a chance to address historical inequities, but provides the CDE an opportunity to address and update the way we engage and work with one another to better support California schools and the students they serve.

Performace on these multiple measures will be reported through the new California School Dashboard. The new accountability system reflects a clear expectation that all LEASs and schools can and should improve and emphasize equity by focusing on student group performance. This new multiple measures system replaces the former Academic Performace Index (API), which was based solely on testing results, and the federal requirement to calculate Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

LEA and school performance in the ten LCFF priority areas are measured using a combination of state and local indicators.
