SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL (SSC) and GOVERNANCE TEAM
Every public school in California is required to have a School Site Council, comprised of five parents and five staff members, to advise the principal on budget priorities and programs reflective of student needs. This group supervises the annual development of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and monitors progress toward goals (in literacy, mathematics, parent involvement, and attendance) each trimester. They also review the School Safety Plan annually. Expenditures of restricted funds are supervised by the School Site Council. Members are elected by the groups they represent; parents vote for parent reps and staff votes for staff reps. SSC representatives serve two- year terms. Like the SSC, the Governance Team meets monthly to make decisions on school programs, policies and procedures. This elected group represents school staff (nine members) and community members (three). Elections are held each year. If you are interested in serving on the SSC and Governance Team or would like further information, please contact Elementary School Assistant Susan Daly at 582- 0136 or by email, [email protected].
