School Site Council (SSC)
We have one decision-making council at Ivanhoe Elementary, the School Site Council (SSC).
The SSC is responsible for developing, approving and annually revising the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). The Council oversees the site-based budgeting of categorical funds (State and Federal monies).
The Council is comprised of 5 school employees and 5 parents that are elected to the council. Specific tasks of the SSC are to: review and analyze student data, approve the annual school site budget, monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the academic plan on an ongoing basis. The SSC is also responsible for allocating the funds that Friends of Ivanhoe (FOI) raises throughout the year.
The Council terms last two years and they are staggered. Last year the terms were split between one and two years so that there would be continuity on the Council. Meetings are held the third Thursday of each month and they are open to the public.
SSC members include:
From the faculty -
Lynda Rescia, Missy Morris, Carlos Santiesteban, Mary Frances Smith-Reynolds,
and Principal Lynda Rescia.
From the parent body -
Renee Navid, Moe Navid, Joe Mellis, Alison Shore, Bev Kite, and Duncan Sobel
