School Site Council
PHS School Site Council
updated: January 30, 2019
The California Education Code requires the school site council to develop a Single Plan for Student Achievement. The purpose of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is to create a cycle of continuous improvement of student performance, and to ensure that all students succeed in reaching academic standards set by the State Board of Education. The California Education Code requires the school site council to develop a Single Plan for Student Achievement for Consolidated Application programs operated at the school or in which the school participates.
The PHS Site Council will serve as a forum where school staff, parents, and students can discuss a variety of issues that affect student performance at Piedmont High School. To support focus in the area of curriculum, agendas are typically developed in order to coincide with the curricular areas that are up for adoption.
Organizing the School Site Council
Composition of the school site council is specified in the California Education
Code as follows:
- The school site council shall be composed of the principal and representatives
of: teachers selected by teachers at the school; other school personnel selected
by other school personnel at the school; parents of students attending the
school selected by such parents; and, in secondary schools, students selected
by students attending the school.
- At the secondary level, the school site council shall be constituted to
ensure parity between (a) the principal, classroom teachers, and other school
personnel, and (b) equal numbers of parents or other community members selected
by parents, and students.
- At both the elementary and secondary levels, classroom teachers shall comprise
the majority of persons represented under subdivision (a) of this section.
The means of selecting school site council members are not specified in law,
except that members must be chosen by peers. No additional membership qualifications
may be required. Beyond the composition requirements stated above, no seat on
the school site council may be reserved for any group or individual.
