School accountability: local educational agencies: required plans and reports.

Existing law requires the governing board of each school district to adopt a local control and accountability plan (LCAP) using a template adopted by the State Board of Education. Existing law requires the governing board of each school district to update its LCAP before July 1 of each year and requires that annual update to be developed using a template adopted by the state board.
