California's accountability system is based on a multiple measures system that assesses how local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools are meeting the needs of their students. Performance on these measures is reported through the California School Dashboard (Dashboard).

The Dashboard includes a concise set of state indicators and local indicators that are founded on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) priorities but are also aligned to the measures required under Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Those LCFF priorities for which there is no state level data collected are referred to as local indicators. The seven local indicators are:

• Basic Services and Conditions (Priority 1)

• Implementation of State Academic Standards (Priority 2)

• Parent and Family Engagement (Priority 3)

• School Climate (Priority 6)

• Access to a Broad Course of Study (Priority 7)

• Coordination of Services for Expelled Students (Priority 9, for county offices of education [COEs] only)

• Coordination of Services for Foster Youth (Priority 10, for COEs only)
