What a SSC is not

A School Site Council (SSC) is NONE of the following:

A School Management Committee
The principal is the school manager.
A Policy-Making Body
The Board of Education sets policy.
A Political Organization
School Site Councils do not take stands on political issues.
A Personnel Committee
The District Human Resources Department and the school principal are responsible for all personnel matters.
A Grievance Committee
Other procedures are available to air grievances. However, a SSC may recommend solutions to problems within its scope as identified by a school self-study.
A Fund-Raising Organization
An SSC does not solicit funds except in the process of grant applications and the use of community resources.
An Extension of the PTA
A Social Group
State Law specifies the representative membership ratio of the SSC and directs that the bylaws outline a membership selection process.
