DELAC

District English Learner Advisory Committee

District English Learner Advisory Committee is a district wide committee of elected English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) representatives and English Learner (EL) parents that advises the district on development or revision of an EL plan of programs and services, development of the district needs assessment and learn about the importance of school engagement. The DELAC was instrumental in the development of the District Master Plan for English Learners and has established district programs, goals and objectives for the programs and services for English Learners.  Most importantly, the DELAC continues to encourage the voice of non-English speaking parents – a key factor in students’ academic success.  We encourage all parents of English Learners to be active in the ELACs (English Learner Advisory Committees) at their respective school sites.
