Parent Committees
School Site Council (SSC)
The School Site Council annually reviews and updates the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) including proposed expenditure of funds allocated to the school through the Consolidated Application. In addition, the SSC monitors the impact of the actions taken through SPSA funded activities through an annual review of data and outcomes of these actions. Members of the SSC consist of parents, teachers, and other school staff and, at the high school level, students who are elected by their peers.
If you are interested in being a part of your school’s SSC, please contact your school for more information about planned meeting dates and information.
