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).

Additional support may be provided through staff development, health, and guidance services.
