Under California’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), all schools develop and update a three-year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). The LCAP outlines each school’s vision, annual goals, and strategies to support student success.

It focuses on eight state priority areas—including student achievement, engagement, school climate, and course access—while also addressing local priorities. The plan shows how budgets support these goals and reports annually on progress for all students and student subgroups.

State Priority Areas:

1. Student Achievement

2. Student Engagement

3. Other Student Outcomes

4. School Climate

5. Parental Involvement

6. Basic Services

7. Implementation of Common Core Standards

8. Course Access

The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) is a California state-funded program offering before-school, after-school, summer, and intersession programs for students in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade. ELO-P provides hands-on, engaging activities that support academic growth, social-emotional development, and physical skills, enriching the regular school day.

The Education Protection Account (EPA) is a state account where revenue for school funding is deposited. Please review CMP’s spending plans and details below

California Montessori Project’s SARCs provide key information about our schools, including student and staff demographics, academic performance, school programs, class sizes, and finances.

State law requires all public schools receiving state funding to prepare a SARC to keep parents and the community informed about each school’s progress and performance.
