The school site council (SSC) is a group of teachers, parents, classified employees, and students that works with the principal to develop, review and evaluate school improvement programs and school budgets. SSCs are mandated under California Education Code §52852 and require each school 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.
