The activity and/or expenditure has been reviewed, approved, and recommended by the School Site Council to the local governing board (Education Code Section 64001(d). Condition: The SPSA did not include the proposed expenditure of funds, allocated to the schools through the consolidated application, to address the findings identified in needs assessment.
