The Role of the School Site Council
The School Site Council (SSC) is intended to be an advisory body for non-Title I schools. Policymakers in states across the country agree that those who are involved with schools and students on a day-to-day basis – teachers, parents and other school employees – can make some of the best decisions. This belief led to the creation of the school site council.
The school principal, teachers, other school personnel, parents and students make up this group. Their primary responsibility is to identify common goals and assist the leadership team in establishing a plan to achieve the goals. The key to a successful SSC depends upon a good working relationship among all members of the Council. Each member of the Council shares their unique perspective and knowledge of the school’s needs, as they affect all students, during SSC meetings.

- The Principal

The exact duties of school site councils vary between districts and schools, but site councils generally advise the principal on the school improvement plan.
