Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)

A plan of action to improve student academic performance by coordinating all educational services and resources.

Pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 64001 and the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) schools that receive state and federal funds through the Consolidated Application and Reporting System (CARS) and ESEA Program Improvement funds consolidate all school plans into the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).

To assist local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools in meeting the content requirements for consolidating all school plans for these programs into the SPSA the California Department of Education (CDE), in collaboration with school, district, and county office of education practitioners, developed a planning guide (Part I), template (Part II), and resource index (Part III). Together the guide, template, and resource index provide a structured means to enhance the planning and implementation process for improving student academic performance. Use of these documents is entirely voluntary.
