English Language Learner Committee

Each school with 21 or more English learners regardless of language, must form a functioning English learner advisory committee (ELAC) or subcommittee of an existing advisory committee.

On the committee, the percentage of parents of English learners is to be at least the same as that of English learners at the school. After formation and training of the ELAC, the ELAC may delegate its legal responsibilities to an existing school advisory committee or subcommittee.

The purpose of the ELAC (or subcommittee, if appropriate) is to advise (reviews and comments) the principal and school staff on programs and services for English learners.
The district provides training for all ELAC members.
