Upcoming Events
School Site Councils (SSC)
Each school in KVUSD has a School Site Council, which is a decision-making body that plays a vital role in school improvement and planning.
Purpose
School Site Councils are responsible for:
- Developing and reviewing the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
- Monitoring school budget allocations for categorical programs
- Assessing school programs and making recommendations for improvement
- Ensuring that school goals align with district objectives and state requirements
- Reviewing student achievement data and planning interventions
Membership
Each SSC is composed of parents, teachers, staff, and administrators. Parent members are elected by parents at the school, while staff members are elected by their peers. The council must have equal representation from parents and school staff.
