School Site Council

The Lower Lake Elementary School Site Council (SSC) is an elected group made up of parents and school employees who meet on a regular basis to provide input and make decisions regarding our school's curriculum and programs.

The SSC serves as the school community's representative body for determining the focus of the school's academic instructional program and all related categorical resources. The legislative intent behind School Site Councils is that the individuals most affected by the operation of a school should have a major role in decisions about how that school functions. Education is a joint effort of parents, teachers, administrators, and other school staff — all working toward the common goal of student success.

Council Composition

School Site Councils are composed of two equal groups: one representing school staff, including the principal, and the other representing parents, students, and community members.

Responsibilities

Legal requirements of the School Site Council include:

  • Annually develop and approve the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
  • Review and revise School Safety Plans
  • Develop site-level parent involvement policy and advise the district on this policy
  • Review the school parent compact (Title I Schools)
  • Advise the district in the development of the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)

Who Can Participate?

All parents and community members are welcome to attend SSC meetings. Elections for School Site Council members are held in the fall and as needed. If you are interested in serving on the SSC or ELAC, please call the office at (707) 994-5787 ext. 2674 and ask for Claudia Lopez.
