School Site Council
What are the roles of the School Site Council (SSC)?
A School Site Council must be established at all schools that receive Federal and/or State Categorical funds. The elected members of the SSC represent parents, students, community members, and school staff in school governance. By state law, the SSC must oversee the site-based budgeting of categorical funds and the development and monitoring of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). The SSC is expected to:
- Review and analyze student data.
- Solicit community input, including feedback from the ELAC.
- Assist the principal in developing the SPSA and school site budget.
- Monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the SPSA on an ongoing basis.
- Approve the SPSA and school site budget before it is submitted to the District for final review and approval by the School Board of Trustees.
