 What I have learned in this course has helped me understand how districts budget their staff and other resources. 

The LCAP, or Local Control and Accountability Plan, is a strategic document that California school districts use to outline their goals, actions, and budget allocations to improve student outcomes. It's part of California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF, a state law that provides funding to schools based on student demographics). LCAPs are designed to promote local decision-making, transparency, and community engagement in how school districts spend their money. 

The SPSA or School Plan for Student Achievement. It is a comprehensive plan developed by schools to improve the academic performance of all students, particularly those furthest from achieving state standards. The SPSA serves as a blueprint for schools to identify and address their students' instructional needs, use resources effectively, and track progress towards student achievement goals. 

I have also learned so much from my professor and how to be an effective administrator and assist my administration with the effective tools if needed. Overall, this class has been a significant help with my further understanding of how an effective district should be set up.
