The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is a strategic plan that maximizes the resources available to the school and consolidates all school-level planning efforts into one plan for programs funded through the consolidated application (ConApp), and for federal school improvement programs, pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 64001 and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This template is designed to meet schoolwide program planning requirements and supports continuous cycles of action, reflection, and improvement.

Consistent with EC 65001, the School Site Council (SSC) is required to develop and annually review the SPSA, establish an annual budget, and make modifications to the school plan that reflect changing needs and priorities, as applicable. The School Site Council (SSC), which is composed of the principal, staff, parents/community members, and students at the secondary level, has the responsibility of developing and recommending the plan to the Board of Education for approval.

The SPSAs contain all the required elements, including school goals that are aligned with the district Local Control and Accountability Plan goals, associated actions and services, and the allocation of funds to support their goals. Below is the layout of the organization of the SPSAs.
