School Site Council (SSC)
The School Site Council (SSC) is a collaborative decision-making group made up of parents, school staff, and the school principal. Together, they work to review, monitor, and approve the school's improvement plan and Comprehensive School Safety Plan, ensuring that school funds are used effectively to support student achievement.
One of the SSC's most important responsibilities is developing and overseeing the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). This involves reviewing student data, identifying areas of need, setting schoolwide goals, and approving how certain state and federal funds are allocated to improve academic outcomes for all students.
Who Makes Up the SSC?
The School Site Council is typically composed of:
- The school principal
- Certificated staff (teachers)
- Classified staff
- Parents and community members
All SSC members are nominated and voted on by their peers. Parent members play a vital role — bringing the perspectives of students and families to the table and helping shape decisions that impact our entire school community.
We are always looking for parents and community members who are interested in joining!
How Can Parents Get Involved?
There are several meaningful ways to participate in the School Site Council:
- Run for election when parent positions become available
- Attend SSC meetings, which are open to the public
- Share feedback and input on school goals and programs
- Stay informed about the school's improvement efforts and how decisions are made
Serving on the School Site Council is one of the most impactful ways parents can contribute to school leadership and help guide decisions that support student success.
When and Where Are Meetings Held?
The School Site Council meets four times per year. Meeting dates and information are shared each Monday in the Principal's Message and are posted on the Pomo Elementary School website calendar at the start of each school year.
