School Site Council

The School Site Council (SSC) is a group of parents, students, teachers, and school staff who work together to improve the school's academic programs and manage related resources. State law requires the SSC for schools that receive specific types of funding.

Key Responsibilities:

• Developing the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA): The SSC creates and updates this strategic plan, which outlines goals and actions to boost student performance.
• Managing Resources: The council oversees the allocation of funds to ensure they are used effectively to support the school's goals.
• Monitoring Progress: The SSC regularly reviews the implementation of the SPSA and makes adjustments as needed to ensure the plan's success.

Composition:

• Parents/Community Members: Selected by parents of students at the school.
• Students: Chosen by their peers.
• Teachers and Staff: Selected by their colleagues.
• Principal: A mandatory member of the SSC.

The SSC ensures that the school’s academic programs are aligned with the needs of its students and the goals of the local educational agency.
