Background
Per the California Education Code, each elementary school Site Council is responsible for the following:
-
Review and approval of the Comprehensive School Safety Plan
-
Review and approval of the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which serves as a single year strategic plan for the school
-
Review and approval of the school's allocation of Local Control Funding Formula ("LCFF") funds
-
Development of a site level parent involvement policy
The Site Council consists of 12 members and one alternate, as specified in the Site Council bylaws. The members are the principal, five staff members (certificated and classified), and six parents. (A seventh parent serves as an alternate.) Peers must select staff Site Council members in a democratically conducted process. Cesar Chavez parents elect Parent Site Council members in a school-wide election for two-year terms, staggered to ensure all parent representatives are not elected in the same year.
