State law requires that school-level plans for programs funded through the Consolidated Application be included in a School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) (Education Code Section 64001), developed by each school’s School Site Council (SSC) with the advice of any applicable school advisory committees. Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) may elect to allocate other funds to schools for inclusion in school plans. The Ontario-Montclair School District includes Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) expenditures, as written in the district’s LCAP, in the site’s SPSA. The content of the school plan includes school goals, activities, and expenditures for improving the academic performance of students to the proficient level and above. The plan delineates the actions that are required for program implementation and serves as the school's guide in evaluating progress toward meeting the goals. SPSAs in OMSD are aligned to the District’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP).

Each year, in consultation and partnership their SSC, and other parent advisory groups, each school leadership team evaluates their SPSA as it relates to school and student achievement data. Each school writes goals aligned to the LCAP and is broken down into actionable steps the school will implement as well as the identification of a goal will be measured for level of success.

Since the SPSAs are aligned to the District’s LCAP, the development of the SPSA begins after approval of the District’s LCAP. All SPSAs must be approved by the Board of Trustees.
