ELAC (English Language Advisory Committee)

Each California public school with 21 or more English learners must form an English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC).

The ELAC is responsible for the following:

  • Advising the principal and staff in the development of a site plan for English learners and submitting the plan to the School Site Council (SSC) 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).
