Membership Form

The School Site Council helps develop new programs and oversees major school change. The School Site Council is made up of 18 elected members: 7 teachers, 5 parents, 4 students, 1 other school personnel and 1 non-voting administrator. School Site Council develops, reviews, evaluates and approves the school improvement plan, also referred to the school based coordinated plan.

The council makes decisions about how state-allocated school improvement funds will be spent. They annually review and update the school plan. They oversee the implementation of the school improvement program and assess periodically the effectiveness of the program. The School Site Councils deal more with school policy and budgets than do other parent faculty groups such as Mission Possible and Boosters. Duties and responsibilities are set by the Education Code of the State of California.

Behind the creation of the School Site Council (in the 1970) was the belief that those involved with schools and students on a day-to-day basis, the teachers, parents and other school employees, can make some of the best decisions about how schools need to improve.

The School Site Council holds monthly meetings that are open to the public, on the second Tuesday of each month.
