What is School Site Council? California Education Code 52852
requires that a School Site Council shall be established at each
school that participates in Title I or LCFF
supplemental/concentration grant funding.
The School Site Council is a team comprised of the school
staff, parent(s)/guardians, and/or community members, and
students (when appropriate).
School Site Council members are elected, with teachers electing
teachers, parents/guardians electing
parents/guardians/community members, and students electing
students.
The School Site Council looks at student data and school
information, identifies student needs and areas for improvement,
and participates in the creation/revision of the Single Plan for
Student Achievement (SPSA).
The SPSA is the school’s plan or blueprint for activities
that will be carried out to improve the school and student
achievement. The plan outlines the specific activities and the
funding, either Title I or LCFF which will be utilized.
The School Site Council also monitors the plan to see that the
actions have occurred; the funding spent and evaluates the
activities at the end of the school year.
