Under LCFF, concentration grants are designed to promote equity by addressing what?

• A. To promote equity by addressing targeted needs based on student demographics.
• B. To fund building maintenance.
• C. To subsidize athletics.
• D. To pay administrative staff salaries.

Answer: (A)

Concentration grants under LCFF are about directing extra resources to districts with high numbers of high-need students to reduce inequities. These unduplicated pupils—such as low-income students, English learners, and foster youth—receive targeted supports to help close achievement gaps. So the purpose is to address needs that arise from student demographics, not to fund building maintenance, athletics, or administrative salaries.
