About the English Learner Advisory Committee

Formation


Each California Public School from Kindergarten through grade 12, with 21 or more English learners must form a functional English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). The ELAC is a committee for parents or other community members who want to advocate for English Learners.

 

Major Function


The purpose of the ELAC (or subcommittee, if appropriate) is to advise the principal and school staff on programs and services for English learners and the SSC on the development of the Single School Plan for Student Achievement. The ELAC also assists the school on other tasks listed below

 

Task


The committee advises and assists the school principal, staff and School Site Council (SSC) as follows:

  1. The school’s program for English learners.
  2. The school’s needs assessment.
  3. The school’s annual language census (R-30 LC Report).
  4. Efforts to make parents aware of the importance of regular school attendance

 

Composition Requirements


The percentage of parents of English learners on the committee must be at least the same as that of English learners at the school.
