Dear Parents and Guardians,

Part of building a strong community includes the participation of 
parents and guardians on school committees, so that we can make sound 
decisions on how to spend resources in support of the many programs and 
initiatives at Berkeley High. Please don’t worry about whether you’ve 
served on committees like this before - we need a diverse group of 
parents/guardians who are simply willing to put in some time to learn 
about a wide range of programs, and work with the Principal, staff, 
students and other parents/guardians to make good decisions on behalf of 
all our students.


If you’re interested in nominating yourself or another guardian or 
parent for a spot on one (or more) of these committees, please fill out 
the form before September 30 at https://goo.gl/1yNgsd

*School Site Council (SSC)*

This elected committee reviews Berkeley High’s educational programs and 
student achievement data, and supports the development and updating of 
the school-wide Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), which is 
part of the accreditation process at the high school. In addition to 
monitoring the Plan, the SSC approves the School Safety and the BSEP 
Site Plans. Meets once (sometimes twice) a month on a Tuesday from 4:00 
to 6:00 pm.

*BHS BSEP Site Committee*

Parents elected to this committee have a role in allocating site funds 
that come from the local Berkeley Schools Excellence Program (BSEP) 
Measure A. The committee reviews the programs that currently receive 
funding and considers proposals for funding new programs that support 
student  achievement and school goals. Meets once (sometimes twice) a 
month on a Monday, 4:30-6:30 pm.

Questions? Contact: Jana Jandra janajandra at berkeley.net

*BSEP P&O (Planning & Oversight) Committee*

If you are interested in how BSEP dollars are spent district-wide, 
become one of your school’s BSEP Planning & Oversight (P&O) Committee 
members. Learn how BSEP keeps class sizes smaller, supports our teachers 
and, through this Measure, provides for school libraries, music and 
visual arts programs, technology and a site-determined wish list.

On October 6, any parents and guardians who are interested in serving on 
these committees will be able to introduce themselves to the community 
as part of our all-school​evening meeting. We’ll start elections that 
night and conclude by October 9 so we can be up and running with our 
committees in October!
