School Site Council

Schools operating a program funded through categorical funds must form a School Site Council (SSC). The SSC develops the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), reviews and updates the plan annually, proposes how LCAP and categorical funds are spent, and presents the SPSA to the local governing board for approval.

English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC)

Each California public school with 21 or more English learners must form an English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC). The ELAC advises administrators, teachers, and staff in the development of a school site plan for English learners; presents their plan to the School Site Council for inclusion in the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA); and assists in the development of the schoolwide needs assessment.

Other School Site Meetings

Many administrators hold regular informational meetings to help parents and families stay up-to-date on opportunities and other topics of interest.
