What is School Governance?
Purpose of School Governance
6
The central purpose of school governance is to engage in shared leadership and decision making for increased student achievement in college, career and community readiness. In order to realize this purpose, School Site Councils must engage in developing their School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), in a continuous improvement process using the established District tools.
Accessing your school’s SPSA
Examples of District Assessment Tools
*COST - Coordination of Services Team
*SRI - Scholastic Reading Inventory
*CHKS - California Healthy Kids Survey

Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)

Low-Income, English Learners, and Foster Youth. In OUSD, we are including African American, Latino, Asian Pacific Islander and SPED students as target populations.
