School Committees

We have a variety of organizations that involve parents and school staff in our school.

School Site Council (SSC)

The SSC is an elected decision-making group comprised of parents, community members, site administrators, teachers and other staff. At the secondary level, students are included. The SSC has an ongoing responsibility to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate the site plan. The SSC also oversees all the categorical funds such as Title I, Second Language and GATE. All schools are required to have an SSC. Contact your site administrator or SSC chair if you are interested in joining.

For more information on the School Site Council, contact the office or you may visit the District's School Site Council website by this link

English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)

When a school has 21 or more English Learners, it must form an English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC).

The primary purpose of ELAC is to advise the school principal and school staff regarding the instructional programs and support services for English Learners. ELAC is also responsible for advising the School Site Council (SSC) and reviewing the Site Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).

The school is responsible for training and providing appropriate support to all ELAC members. By doing so, ELAC members will be well-informed and thus be able to communicate meaningful input and advice to the school about its efforts to educate English Learners.

If you'd like to get involved in the ELAC, contact the office.

For more information on the district's English Language Learners program, visit the Office of Language Acquisition website.

Site Governance Team

The Governance Team is a shared decision making body, required at each school by the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education.


The teams meet regularly to discuss and make decisions about issues affecting our school and our children.

The team includes parents, teachers and classified staff, and the principal. The agendas are available for public review and the meetings are open to the public.

Parents are welcome to call parent members with questions and concerns to be brought to the team.

For more information, contact the office.
