School Site Council
The School Site Council (SSC) is the major part of the overall decision-making structure at our school. Participants are elected by their peers (parents, principal, teachers, and other school staff) to represent the members of a school community. Their primary role is to guide the Site Planning Process to ensure that the needs of all students are specifically addressed in the School Site Plan. In addition, the School Site Council must oversee the site-based budgeting of categorical funds and the Weighted Student Formula process. Specific tasks of the SSC are:
- Review and analyze student data.
- Develop the Academic Plan and school site budget.
- Monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the academic plan on an ongoing basis.
- Approve and recommend the plan to the school board.
However, even if you are NOT an elected member of the SSC, you are invited to come and participate in this decision making process. Meeting dates and times are posted on the school calendar.
The SSC is responsible for the Balanced Scorecard (BSC). Here’s the 2012-2013 Balanced Scorecard for HMCRA (in PDF format).
