School Site Council (SSC)
Next Meeting: January 14, 2024 @ 4 pm in the Conference Room
A School Site Council (SSC) is a decision-making body that represents all educational partners in the school community. Composed of the principal, teachers, other school personnel, parents, the council plays a crucial role in developing, reviewing, and evaluating school improvement programs and school budgets. Members are typically elected by their peers and meet regularly throughout the academic year to analyze student data, assess school needs, and make recommendations about how to allocate resources to best support student achievement. The SSC is particularly important in schools receiving Title I funds, as it ensures these federal resources are used effectively to support students' academic success and close achievement gaps. Working collaboratively, council members help ensure that the school's goals align with both district priorities and the specific needs of their student population.
