This School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for Rio Linda Preparatory Academy is a strategic roadmap designed to maximize resources and improve student outcomes. The plan aligns with the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and focuses on four key strategic pillars: increasing academic achievement and decreasing disproportionalities, ensuring all students are college and career ready, improving school culture and climate through increased student engagement, and enhancing parent engagement. It utilizes data from the 2025 California School Dashboard and local assessments to identify needs and targets interventions, social-emotional learning support, and career readiness initiatives.

The committee meeting covered mandated topics including a needs assessment for school data and a review of 2026-2027 SPSA goals and actions. Additional agenda items included reports from the DELAC representative, presentations on topics requested by members, and reports from other committees such as the SSC and PTA.

The committee reviewed the results of the School Plan For Student Achievement (SPSA) needs assessment and discussed updates to the SPSA plan, including potential staffing adjustments for the AIS position. Furthermore, the council reviewed and discussed the implementation of a new district-wide board policy and administrative regulation concerning the student use of cell phones and personal electronic devices during the school day.

The meetings focused on key council business including the election of officers, member training, and the review and approval of site-specific documents such as the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), the Comprehensive School Safety Plan, bylaws, and the parent and family engagement policy. Discussions covered funding for academic intervention positions, support for English learners, and the implementation of district-wide cell phone policies.
