3. SPSA Basics
The Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is a written plan developed by the School Site Council (SSC) describing the school’s program and how resources will be used to meet the supplemental educational and related needs of participating students.
As always, the SPSA will require SSC approval

4. SPSA Process Monitor Student Data Analysis
Cycle of Continuous Development
Evaluate Effectiveness
Identify Measurable Objectives
Monitor
Implement Relevant, Evidence-Based Strategies

5. SPSA – Before and Now

6. School Advantages of Online SPSA
Greater transparency for all stakeholders
Easier accessibility for all school stakeholders
Simplifies and streamlines the plan-writing process
Allows for electronic signatures, significantly increasing ease of use for schools (in use by IRS, banks)
Electronic data links allow schools to focus on data analysis rather than spending time and energy on data collection
Easier to complete, less time-consuming for schools
Eco-Friendly

7. Local District Advantages of Online SPSA
No misfiled or misplaced documents
Eliminates need for CDs and/or flash drives
Increase efficiency and speed of the review process for LDs and Central Office

9. Changes for 2017-2018 New Flexibility for SPSA Completion
There are six Goal pages: 100% Graduation, ELA, Mathematics, EL Programs, Culture & Climate, and Social/Emotional.
Schools must complete the Goal pages for Culture & Climate and the EL Programs (if receiving Title III funds)
For all the remaining Goal pages, schools need to indicate key findings from the data analysis and identify underlying issues related to the key findings.
A school may choose to not address the Focus Areas for particular Goal page. If this is the case, then an explanation must be provided.
For the Goal pages that the school determines to be most effective in addressing students’ academic needs, the school must complete “Strategies/Actions and Tasks” for the Focus Area.
However, within each Goal page, schools are no longer required to address all Focus Areas: Professional Development, Classroom Instruction, Interventions, and Building Parent Capacity.

2. Identify the underlying issues related to key findings.
3. If you are not addressing this Goal, explain why.

28. Note Regarding New Question 3
If SSC decides that the Focus Areas in a specific Goal section will not be addressed, possible explanations might include:
Students already meet California standards in this Goal area

Unlike the Position Items, Non Position Items only allow changes to the number of units or the Total Cost. Unit selections are A for Annual, H for Hourly, S for Semester, D for Daily, M for Monthly, T for Trip, and Y for Yearly. In cases where you know how much money to budget, but you don’t know how many units to budget, divide your Total Cost by the Rate.
In this example, $6,270 Total Cost/$209 per Day = 30. Enter 30 Days. You can also enter decimal values, e.g., .25, etc.
