What is School Site Council?

A pie chart shows the distribution of school stakeholders, including teachers, parents, and staff.

School Site Council (SSC) is a committee of teachers, parents, administrators, and interested community members who work together to develop and monitor the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for a particular school site. Members of the SSC must align to the state requirements (see image to the left) to ensure balanced representation of stakeholder groups.

School Site Councils oversee the The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)  and budgets associated within the plan. School Site Council’s support increases student achievement by focusing their work on the development, monitoring, and evaluation of the SPSA.

The SPSA serves as the organizer for an individual school’s improvement process. The SPSA is a plan that establishes the goals for a school’s student achievement, describes the programs, and identifies the funds used by the school to achieve these goals. Each individual school's SPSA is aligned to the district's Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP).
