What Is the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and Why Is it Important? Each year Independent Elementary is responsible for establishing the SPSA for the next school year. The purpose of the SPSA is to coordinate all educational services to create a cycle of continuous improvement of student performance, and to ensure that all students succeed in reaching academic standards set by the State Board of Education. The annual process of developing, reviewing, and updating the SPSA includes a comprehensive review of data and the development of research based instructional actions necessary to achieve school goals.
