What is English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)?

 

The English Learner Advisory Committee, ELAC, promotes a meaningful connection between parent/guardians of English learners (ELs) and school personnel. The main purpose is to create a forum for open, culturally responsive exchanges on topics important to parents and guardians of English learners and recently redesignated English proficient students. A functioning ELAC is required for any school site with 21 or more English Learners.

 

The ELAC shall be responsible for the following tasks:

 

  • Advising the principal and staff in the development of a site plan for English learners and submitting the plan to the School Site Council for consideration of inclusion in the School Plan for Student Achievement.
  • Assisting in the development of the schoolwide needs assessment.
  • Ways to make parents aware of the importance of regular school attendance.
  • Each ELAC shall have the opportunity to elect at least one member to the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC). Districts with 31 or more ELACs may use a system of proportional or regional representation.
 

In addition, DELAC (District English Learners Advisory Committee) meets several times a year. Representatives from each school's ELAC committee and administration meet to discuss the services the district provides.
