School Site Council (SSC)

The School Site Council (SSC) determines academic instructional programs and related categorical resource expenditures. All schools that receive federal or state categorical funding are required to have a School Site Council.

The School Site Council:

  • Sets and reviews school goals.
  • Sets the Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy and the School-Parent Compact.
  • Develops the TItle I parent involvement budget.
  • Selects school improvements.
  • Develops the school safety plan.
  • Oversees the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and its budget.
  • Recommends and submits a site plan to the State Board of Education.
  • Collaborates with other councils and advisory groups.

The SSC is funded through the Consolidated Application (ConApp, Title One).

Five parents/guardians or community members will be elected to the SSC.

Title I Oversight

The SSC also oversees the educational needs of economically disadvantaged students and TItle I funds. Title I participants include students who are at risk of failing in school. The program funds supplemental services needed to raise the academic achievement level of K through 12th grade participants in their academic career. Additional support may be provided through staff development, health, and guidance services.

The SSC works to increase academic achievement. Parents have the opportunity to participate in the design and implementation of the program through activities such as developing a parent policy, home-school compacts, parent training, and volunteer participation in school activities.
