App. The School Site Council (SSC) is responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving the SPSA with written advice from appropriate school advisory committees. Expenses described in the SPSA must be aligned to data that will address specific needs and must be annually evaluated. Federal and State Education Programs Branch 11

Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) The SPSA* includes: Comprehensive needs assessment – Data analysis and annual SPSA Evaluation ■ Goals, based on student data, that are measurable ■ Effective methods and instructional strategies based on research that address student needs ■ Budget ■ Process of monitoring the implementation of the planned actions ■ *Goals of the LEA Plan are embedded in the SPSA
