School Committees

Parents and the community are highly supportive of the educational program at Miguelito Elementary School. Families are encouraged to participate in advisory groups such as the School Site Council (SSC) and English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC). Parents are welcome and valued at school events including, back-to-school night, open house, and family engagement activities. Many programs are enhanced by the generous support of our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and local businesses. Those interested in volunteering or participating in school committees and events are encouraged to contact the office at (805) 742-2440.

School Site Council (SSC)

In California, a School Site Council (SSC) is a legally required decision-making body at each school receiving federal funds, primarily focusing on developing and monitoring the school’s improvement plan. SSC is composed of teachers, parents, and other school staff members, with equal representation between staff and parent/community/student representatives. The SSC plays a key role in identifying student needs, reviewing student achievement data, and developing the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).   

Each fall, parents are elected to School Site Council.

English Learner Advisory Council (ELAC)

In California, any school with 21 or more English learner must form an English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). The English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) is a group of parents, staff, and community members who advise the principal and school staff on programs and services for English Learners. ELAC helps review the school’s language development programs, student progress, and supports parent involvement. The committee plays a key role in ensuring English Learner needs are reflected in the school’s planning and decision-making.

All parents are welcome—especially those of English Learners.
