School Committees

Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Maple High School. Parents are encouraged to participate on advisory councils such as the School Site Council (SSC), English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC), and the Community Schools Committee. Parents are always welcome to attend school events including assemblies, college information nights, back-to-school night, open house, and graduation. Parents who wish to become volunteers or participate in Maple High School committees or school activities may contact the Main Office at (805) 742-3150.

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).   

 

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. 

Community Schools Committee

A community school is the heart of a community, uniting diverse and engaged stakeholders in support of the Whole Child.  Children are not just taught academics, but learn in environments that make them feel safe, valued, engaged, challenged, healthy and connected.  Because they reflect their unique community needs, no two community schools are alike.  The shared-governance model of community schools gives all stakeholders (students, families, community members, CTA educators and school administrators) an equal voice in determining how best to serve students.
