California Education Code 52852 requires that a school site council shall be established at each school that participates in Title I or LCFF supplemental/concentration grant funding.   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 pupils attending the school selected by the parents; and, in secondary schools, pupils selected by pupils attending the school.

• Recommend the annual revisions to the SPSA for Board approval

• Monitor the implementation of the site’s categorical budget and activities in the SPSA
• Annually evaluate the activities in the approved SPSA
