Summary: The Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) identifies and addresses the instructional needs of students and specifies how categorical funds provided through the Consolidated Application (Con App) will be used to accomplish the goals outlined in the plan. EC Section 64001 specifies schools and districts receiving state and federal or other applicable funding through the district’s Con App process prepare a SPSA for any recipient school. Additionally, Mt. Diablo USD made a local decision for sites to include their allocated Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Targeted Supplemental and, optionally, their allocated LCFF Base funds in their SPSA’s.

State guidelines require that the SPSA must:
•Identify site-specific achievement goals based on a variety of student performance data.
•Describe specific instructional strategies to accelerate student learning.
•Describe the ways in which student progress will be monitored on a regular basis.
•Identify interventions for students not achieving.
•Determine the necessary professional development for staff.
•Delineate strategies for parent communication and engagement.
•Reflect estimated costs and funding sources.
•Involve consultation with other site advisory groups.

State regulations require that the School Site Council (SSC) be the group responsible for developing and revising the SPSA in collaboration with the site instructional leadership team. Ongoing consultation with site advisory groups about student performance data, student needs, identified goals, appropriate interventions/preventions, and associated budgets is an integral part of the development and monitoring of the SPSA. These regulations also require submission to and approval of each site’s SPSA by the Governing Board of the Local Education Agency. (Ed Code 64001).

This year, Mt. Diablo schools used an updated template, aligned with the revised Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) to create their SPSA’s. This alignment supports the required alignment between the two plans. The MDUSD SPSA template includes components that meet the ten federally required components for our Title I schools with schoolwide programs.
Funding: Title I (3068, 3069, 3070), LCFF Targeted Supplemental (0930), LCFF Base (0301, 0701, 0810)
Fiscal Impact All appropriate programs will be included in the 2015 - 2016 adopted District budget.
Recommendation: This item is for information only and will return at the June 22, 2015 meeting of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District Board of Education for action.
