     The Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) identifies and addresses the instructional needs of students and specifies how funds will be used to accomplish all goals outlined in the plan. State guidelines require that the SPSA must:
 
  • Identify site-specific achievement goals based on a variety of student performance data.
  • Describe specific instructional strategies to accelerate student learning.
  • Describe the ways in which student progress will be monitored on a regular basis.
  • Identify interventions for students not achieving.
  • Determine the necessary professional development for staff.
  • Delineate strategies for parent communication and engagement.
  • Reflect estimated costs and funding sources.
  • Involve consultation with other site advisory groups.
     State regulations also require that the School Site Council (SSC) be the group responsible for developing and revising the SPSA in collaboration with the site instructional leadership team. Ongoing consultation with site advisory groups about student performance data, student needs, identified goals, appropriate interventions/preventions, and associated budgets is an integral part of the development and monitoring of the SPSA.  (Ed Code 64001)
 
     This ongoing involvement of the SSC in the review of the SPSA is a critical element of the annual planning cycle and should be reflected in meeting agendas, minutes, and all related documentation of SSC development, revision, monitoring, and evaluation of the SPSA must be maintained at each school in the SSC Notebook. All documentation must be maintained for seven years, plus the current school year.
 
     Pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 64001 and the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) schools that receive state and federal funds through the Consolidated Application and Reporting System (CARS) and ESEA Program Improvement funds consolidate all school plans into the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).
 
     To assist local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools in meeting the content requirements for consolidating all school plans for these programs into the SPSA the California Department of Education (CDE), in collaboration with school, district, and county office of education practitioners, developed a planning guide (Part I), template (Part II), and resource index (Part III). All of these items together the guide, template, and resource index provide a structured means to enhance the planning and implementation process for improving student academic performance.
