Our School -> School Site Council (SSC)

Purpose

In the 1970’s, the State of California passed a law that set up the School Improvement Program (SIP), which enabled schools to receive supplemental funding from the state. The new law also required that schools establish School Site Councils (SSC) in order to receive and spend the extra funding provided by SIP.

School Site Council Members

The School Site Council is composed of equal numbers of parents, teachers and staff. The basic principle behind the SSC is that those individuals who are most affected by the operation of their school should have a major role in the decisions regarding how their school functions. It is the role of the SSC to advise the principal and staff on the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the School Improvement Plan, and to allocate SIP funds from the state to support the goals of the school plan. The SSC reviews the progress of the school in achieving the goals of the plan.

School Site Council Meetings

The School Site Council meets the first Thursday of the month at 3:40 PM, usually in the GLC. Check the calendar on the home page for meeting dates.

School Based Coordinated Plan (SBCP)

The SIP also requires the SSC to have a School Based Coordinated Plan (SBCP), which is designed, implemented, and monitored by the SSC to ensure that the SIP funds are being spent effectively to support school's improvement efforts to attain the highest possible levels of teaching and learning at the school. The Plan contains the following:

  • An Overview of The Plan.
  • District Common Pages details philosophy, community description, coordination of services and SSC membership information.
  • Budget Information.
  • Core Curriculum Information includes strategies, standards and assessment, curricular disciplines and required program services to support the core curriculum.
  • Needs Assessment and Evaluation details the analysis of our students' academic strengths and needs, student support beyond the classroom, staff needs, parent needs and school priorities.
  • Major Focus Area includes our focus area and Program Quality Review plan.
  • Other School Curricular Priorities.
  • Staff Development Days Focus.

A copy of the SBCP is available to view in the office.
