Post the Approved LCAP Prominently on the LEA Homepage

An operational guide to the public posting step in the 2026–27 LCAP accountability cycle.

  • LCAP
  • Public posting
  • 2026–27
Date(s)After governing-board/body approval
Applies toCalifornia school districts and the reviewing authorities or partners responsible for this step; confirm charter and COE pathways separately

In Plain Language: Publish the approved LCAP package through a prominent homepage link that families and community members can find without knowing the district’s internal department structure.

Why this matters

A file technically present somewhere on a website is not the same as a prominent, usable public posting. The online copy must remain accessible, current, and complete.

Primary ownership

Primary owner: communications/web owner with the LCAP lead. Partners: superintendent’s office, business services, accessibility lead, language-access staff, and records staff.

Operational workflow

  1. 1. Lock the approved public files and accessible versions.
  2. 2. Create a plainly labeled homepage link and stable destination.
  3. 3. Post the full package, including the Budget Overview for Parents.
  4. 4. Test anonymously on desktop/mobile and verify downloads open correctly.
  5. 5. Assign recurring link, accessibility, and superseded-version checks.
