School Site Council

The School Site Council (SSC) is the organization by which the school community comes together to chart the school's path to improvement.  The basic principle underlying the establishment of the SSC is that those individuals who are most affected by the operation of their school should have a major advisory role regarding how their school functions. 

The SSC is uniquely suited to carry out this function since it is representative of all segments of the school community.  Being composed of the principal, teachers, other school personnel, and parents, it provides a forum for the school community to come together to identify common goals and establish a plan to achieve these goals.

The primary task of the SSC is to ensure that the school is continually engaged in identifying and implementing curriculum and instructional practices that result in both strengthening the core academic program and ensuring that students have access to and success in the program.
