The School Site Council (SSC) is an elected body comprised of parents and teachers that works with the Franklin principal to plan for the needs of the school. A major duty of the SSC is to develop and then annually update the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), a formal plan for the school that satisfies both state and federal program requirements.

SSC meetings are public and open to all.  PTA members, parents, and other members of the Franklin School community are invited and encouraged to attend and participate. A babysitter is provided for the children of those who wish to attend when meetings are held in person.  The California Education Code requires that every public school have an SSC and defines the role and responsibilities of SSC's across the state.  The following, although not specific to California, gives a quick general overview of the job of the SSC: greatschools.org/gk/articles/the-role-of-the-school-site-council/.
