What is School Site Council (SSC)?

The SSC is a decision-making council comprised of representative school groups.

Composition: The SSC is comprised of the following members: principal, teachers, other staff and parents/community member. Note: SSC members are elected at the beginning of each school year, with teachers electing teachers, other staff electing other staff and parents electing parents/community. The principal is the only automatic member and may designate another administrator to take their seat for a full year, not on a meeting-by-meeting basis.

Responsibility: The SSC develops, reviews, and updates the 1) School Safety Plan, 2) School Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy, 3) School-Parent Compact, 4) the school’s Title I and Title III budget (if applicable) with the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and 5) responds to the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) recommendations within 30 days or by the next SSC meeting (if applicable).
