the student population of English Learner students, foster youth, and socio-economically

unique needs.

What do we spend
our money on?
...and >>> Why?
 Every California public school has a School Plan for Student
Achievement (SPSA).

School Plan for SPSA is KEY because it is a ‘living document’ that outlines XYZ’s:
● Site goals

Student
● Steps of action to meet goals
● Measurable outcomes of student growth and academic performance patterns.

Achievement
ERT’s plan supports ALL students and in particular these focal student subgroups:
● LatinX
● English Learners

(SPSA)
● SPED

Another KEY element is that SPSA lists “amount(s) and funding

source(s) for the proposed expenditures” ie: how school monies support
Site Goals.

Here are XYZ’s SY21-22 goals that guide how to allocate budget funds:
● SPSA Goal #1 Focus - Academic Growth and Progress: Improve language and
literacy outcomes for focal student subgroups: LatinX, English Learner, and SPED.
● SPSA Goal #2 Focus - Behavioral Supports: Establish STUDENT SEL and behavioral
supports and STAFF PD
● SPSA Goal #3 - Family Engagement and Empowerment: Strengthen and expand
family engagement across all pathways and by focal groups by an increase of 10%

NOTE: SPSA must be approved by elected School Site Council (SSC)

● Parents and students

The Involvement Process
ANNUAL SPSA Review and
Update includes specific legal
steps around...
● How?
● When?
● With who did the
school consult? and
● Why?
...that the school must follow
as part of the planning
process for this renewal.
Budget Decision Making
1. Districts & schools have flexibility how to use funds; however, the Local Control and Accountability Plan
(LCAP) must be developed in collaboration with Parents, Students, Educators, Community members.
2. The District’s LCAP “describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures” to support positive
student outcomes that address state and local priorities and…
3. School sites, such as ERT school’s plan must align with SFUSD’s LCAP and other federal,
state, and local programs’ guidelines as well as meet ESSA* requirements.
3. How is the community involved in the LCAP process?
● Participation in School Site Council (SSC), ELAC /DLAC and school planning meetings
● Participation in the school’s student and parent/family surveys to make sure voice is heard
● Participation in the Annual March School Planning Summit
● Leadership, Governance and Site Planning Toolkit for more information and resources
*Every Student Succeeds Act 2015
 Annually ERT holds several small community
meetings with staff and family stakeholders,
including during SSC, ELAC, and also
engages the whole staff in “schoolwide data
analysis and an overview of the budgeting
process,” in addition to reviewing family and
staff survey results to determine ERT’s school
wide priorities.

Every March, staff and families participate in

a school site planning summit to analyze
academic and culture ‘metric data’ from 2
‘data windows’ and compare that data to
cohort matched data from prior years.
Through this process, all stakeholders are
...including Title I which requires parent approval. able to give direct input,ideas and
questions to create the upcoming SY’s
SPSA goals and strategies. The SSC is
presented with budget scenarios and votes
*Note: students participate in SSC at secondary level.
SFUSD School Site Council (SSC) on 1 scenario for following SY.
School Accountability
Report Card (SARC)
How do we know how well a school is doing in meeting their
SPSA GOALS?
● Since 1988 ALL schools receiving state funding are required annually to
prepare and make available their school “Report Card” or SARC.
● SARCs provide important public information about public schools and show a
school's progress in achieving its goals. SARCs come out in February.
CA State law requires that the SARC contain all of the following:
● Demographic data
● School safety and climate for learning information
● Academic data
● School completion rates
● Class sizes
● Teacher and staff information
● Curriculum and instruction descriptions
● Postsecondary preparation information (if applicable)
● Fiscal and expenditure data
Similar requirements are contained in the federal Elementary
and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) legislation.
