California's Multi-Tiered System of Support framework promotes the maxim "All Means All", which ensures LEAs and schools successfully implement efforts to meet the needs of each and every student. This allows all students to participate in the general education curriculum, instruction, and activities of their grade level peers. The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) aligned to California's Eight State Priorities provide the infrastructure for building a statewide system of support - California Multi-Tiered System of Support framework is the driver for implementation.

The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) alignment document shows the connections between an LEA’s local plan and the MTSS framework. MTSS will improve school conditions for student learning and is a system that will promote the building of a stronger academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support system at the local level.
