School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is a comprehensive plan that guides each school's efforts to improve student achievement and ensure resources are aligned with student needs. Required under California Education Code Section 64001 and the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the SPSA serves as the foundation for school improvement by aligning school goals with the district's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
Developed annually by the School Site Council (SSC), the SPSA is based on a comprehensive needs assessment that analyzes state and local student achievement data. The plan identifies evidence-based goals, strategies, actions, and expenditures designed to improve outcomes for all students, with a focus on addressing the needs of student groups. Throughout the year, the SSC monitors the plan's implementation, reviews progress, and recommends updates to ensure continuous improvement.
Each SPSA includes:
- School goals aligned with the district's LCAP
- Educational partner engagement
- Comprehensive needs assessment and California School Dashboard data
- Resource inequities
- Evidence-based actions, strategies, and services
- Budget allocations supporting school goals
- Expected measurable outcomes
- Analysis of prior-year progress
- School Site Council membership and required approvals
