School Site Council (SSC)
The SSC is the district-mandated management team, comprised of administration, faculty, parents, and community members. The SSC ensures that our students' educational needs are met and budgets are kept. Any interested person may attend and participate in SSC meetings and discussions.
The School Site Council is a group who makes big-picture academic and budgetary decisions for the school. The size of this group fluctuates from 5 to 15, and includes parents, teachers, staff, and the principal.
