School Site Council

Responsibilities of the School Site Council

The California Education Code requires the school site council to develop a Single Plan for Student Achievement for Consolidated Application programs operated at the school or in which the school participates. In addition, Pupil Retention and School and Library Improvement Block Grant programs operated at the school must be included in the SPSA. The school site council must approve the plan, recommend it to the local governing board for approval, monitor implementation of the plan, and evaluate the results. At least annually, the school site council must revise the plan, including proposed expenditures of funds allocated to the school through the Consolidated Application, and recommend it to the local governing board for approval.

The California Education Code requires the school site councils to:

Measure effectiveness of improvement strategies at the school.
Seek input from school advisory committees.
Reaffirm or revise school goals.
Revise improvement strategies and expenditures.
Recommend the approved single plan for student achievement (SPSA) to the governing board.
Monitor implementation of the SPSA
