Title I Program

What is School Site Council (SSC)?

California Education Code 64001(a) requires that districts receiving state, federal and other applicable funding through the Consolidated Application (Con-App) process ensure that participating schools prepare a SPSA. The SPSA is a blueprint to improve the academic performance of all students to the level of the targeted performances goals of the School Quality Improvement System (SQIS) and the LAUSD Performance Meter.

The SSC is a decision-making council for all programs funded through the Con-App. The SSC has two primary functions:

  • Developing, revising and adopting the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
  • Ensuring that a school meets all federal parental involvement mandates.

What is English Language Advisory Council (ELAC)?
 

Education Code 52176(b) of the state of California states that all schools, including Special Education schools, with twenty-one (21) or more English learner (EL) students, not including Reclassified Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) students, are required to establish an English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC).

The function of ELAC is to provide written recommendations to the School Site Council (SSC) regarding programs and services for English learner (EL) students. Recommendations should be based on student performances and parental involvement data.
