SCHOOL SITE COUNCILS (SSC)

• California law requires that each public school will convene a school site council which is charged with development and approval of the school's improvement plan. 
   

  Who is on a school site council?

   
  The law defines the role of each member of the school site council. At all levels the group shall include:
   
  • the school principal;
  • teacher representatives elected by fellow teachers;
  • other school staff elected by their peers;
  • parents of students currently attending the school and selected by other parents;
  • and, in secondary schools, student representatives selected by other students. 

   

  The number of non-school staff (parents, students and community members) must equal the number of school staff. A staff member of the school who is also a parent cannot serve as a non-school staff member. Of the staff members, the majority must be teachers. For example, if there are two non-teaching staff members and the principal on the site council, there must be at least four teachers on the council and 7 parents, students or community members. 

   

  How do I become involved? 

  The School Site Council consists of staff and parents and helps make an array of decisions from school safety to how and where to apply certain funds. Meetings are open to the public and are generally held the 4th Monday of the month at 3:45pm in the school library. Upcoming meetings are:
