School Site Council
A School Site Council (SSC) is group of teachers, parents, administrators, and interested
community members who work together to develop and monitor the School Plan for Student Achievement.
It is a legally required decision-making body for any school receiving federal funds.
The California Legislature believes that the individuals who are most affected by the operation
of the school should have a major role in the decisions regarding how a school functions.
Education should be a joint effort of parents, teachers, administrators, and other school staff.
The actions of the School Site Council are the first step in a formal process for developing
improvement strategies and for allocating resources to support these efforts.
The SSC decides upon the focus of the school’s academic instructional programs and all related
categorical resource expenditures for a school.
