School Site Council (SSC)

Purpose, Composition and Responsibilities

Every school with a Country District School (CDS) code assigned by the California Department of Education (CDE) shall establish a School Site Council (SSC) as the decision-making council for all programs funded through the Consolidated Application (ConApp). California Education Code 64001(a) requires districts receiving state, federal, and their applicable funding through the Consolidated Application (ConApp) process to ensure that participating schools prepare a School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).

The SPSA is a blueprint to improve the academic performance of all students to the level of the targeted performance goals of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Districts Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Scorecard. Further, the SSC is responsible for developing, revising, and adopting the comprehensive school safety plan and the SPSA with its proposed expenditure of all categorical funds.

In addition, the SSC must ensure that a school meets all federal parental involvement mandates, specifically, the development and approval of the school-level Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy, the Title I School-Parent Compact, and the Title I parent and family engagement budget.

School-Parent Compact for Achievement 2022-2023

A school-parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that parents, students and teachers develop together. The Avalon Gardens School community firmly believes that all children can and will achieve when there is a collaborative effort between parents, students and staff.
