School Site Council Meeting. Wednesday, March 15th from 3:30-4:30 in room 101. The School Site Council (SSC) is composed of the principal, teachers, other school personnel, parents and students. It provides a forum for all of Kennedy's constituents to come together, identify common goals, and establish a plan to achieve these goals. This involvement occurs through the development of the SPSA (School plan for student achievement), the continuous review of the implementation of the plan, the assessment of the effectiveness of the plan, and the ongoing review and updating of the school plan. It is also a forum for you to receive on-going up to date information regarding the school and provide input representing your specific group.
