What is the
School Site Council?
The School Site Council is an elected group of
parents, teachers, students and classified staff
working together to improve our school site's
educational programs.
School Site Councils were developed in response to California law which required them to allocate and monitor the school improvement grant, as well as to develop and oversee the school plan.
At Torrey Pines, the Site Council is also responsible for keeping abreast of legislative changes affecting education and advising the administration on important campus issues.
Site Council components include:
-
Community information, website and the Torrey Pines newsletter
-
Student support services
-
Educational technology
-
Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID)
-
Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)
-
English Language Development (ELD) Program
-
Staff development
Guiding
Philosophy:
Our Site Council is guided by our Single Plan
for Student Achievement. This plan is developed

and analysis and focuses on direct improvements
on student achievement. For a copy of the plan,
