Councils & Committees

The School Site Council (SSC) consists of parents, students, teachers, staff, and administrators who adopt, develop, and revise the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). This council monitors the plan’s implementation and ensures the Title I federal budgets are aligned with the goals identified in the SPSA. The dedicated members of this council meet monthly or more frequently as needed.

 

The parents of students who are English language learners and English language learner students are elected to serve on the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). The ELAC meets monthly to determine the needs of the school's English language learner students and how to utilize school and district resources, including Title I funds, to meet those needs. They also ensure compliance with Federal and state regulations and policies. The ELAC members write recommendations to the School Site Council for final consideration.

 

The Local School Leadership Council (LSLC) brings together the principal, teachers, staff, parents, and community members to share decision-making on school matters such as staff professional development, student discipline guidelines, the school schedule, and the use of school equipment. Meetings are open to the public, and families are welcome to attend and share public comment.
