School Site Council
ECHS’s School Site Council Needs YOU!
School Site Council (SSC) is a decision-making group that meets 6-8 times a year. Meetings are held on Tuesdays from 2:00-3:30 p.m. Meetings this year will be held via Zoom.
On the SSC, we review, monitor, and make suggestions about school achievement and other data, programs and budgets. There are 12 members on our SSC: 3 parents/community members, 3 students, 6 school staff members, including the principal.
Members are elected by their peers (school staff elect school staff, parents elect parents, students elect students, etc.). Members’ terms are usually held for 2 years. This is an important position, and we need your participation.
Please consider joining SSC!
Our SSC needs 7 new members this year. We need:
4 ECHS Teachers
3 Parent / Community Members
If interested, contact Principal Guerrero by email hector.guerrero@venturausd.org or phone 289-7955 to be placed on the election ballot. Voting will occur the week September 20 – 24.
Tentative 2021-2022 SSC meeting dates: October 05, October 12, November 02, November 16, November 30, December 7 and 1-3 more meetings in the spring of 2022.

Ventura County Community College - Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccinations for Students and Employees
Ventura College will require that all students and employees be vaccinated for in-person on campus classes, services and activities beginning October 15. Students enrolled in in-person classes will have to move into online classes if they're not vaccinated by the deadline.
This is a Ventura County Community College District policy and not Ventura Unified School District's or El Camino's. However our ECHS students who are taking in-person college courses will need to follow the mandate to attend in-person courses on the college campus.
For families and students who do not wish to be vaccinated, we encourage you to look into online college courses. Please contact your counselor if you need to discuss your need. They can help you identify online courses or alternatives to meet your graduation plans.
For more information about the mandate please visit:
