Advisory Committees

The Schoolsite Council (SSC) is a decision-making group of parents, students, school staff, and administrators. The SSC participates in determining how funds are allocated to the school, and develops, monitors, and evaluates the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). The SSC evaluates the effectiveness of programs in increasing student achievement by reviewing student achievement data, coordinating with the School English Learner Advisory Committee (SELAC) to review programs for English Learners, and reviewing the use of Supplemental and Title I funds to support target populations. For more information or to get involved, visit your student’s school office or website. 

Each school with 21 or more students classified as English Learners will have an established English Learners Advisory Committee, which may be a subcommittee of the School Site Council (SSC). The School English Learner Advisory Committee (SELAC) is a school-based committee that advises the principal and staff on programs and services for English Learners.

The School English Learners Advisory Committee (SELAC) is a school-based committee that advises the principal and staff on programs and services for English Learners. The SELAC also submits a site plan for English Learners to the Schoolsite Council for consideration in the School Plan for Student Achievement. At least two members of the SELAC represent the school in the District English Learners Advisory Committee (DELAC) and attend monthly DELAC meetings. For more information or to get involved, visit your student’s school office or website. 

The Intradistrict Leadership Committee (ILC) gives student representatives from our six comprehensive high schools agency and voice to work towards common objectives and discuss a range of student-related issues that are top of mind.  The current year’s Student Member of the Board of Education becomes the president of the ILC. The other school representatives make up the rest of the ILC. Typically, the president proposes goals for the year and collaborates with the committee to work towards the desired outcomes. The goal is to have at least four students from each comprehensive high school on the committee to ensure that a wide range of perspectives are considered during the meetings.  

Committee meetings are generally held in-person in the evening on the third or fourth Monday of the month and rotate between school sites. High school students should contact their Activities Director for more information.
