San Dieguito Union High School District

English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)

The English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC) makes recommendations regarding programs for students with second language needs. The purpose of the ELAC is to provide parents of English Learners with opportunities to:

Provide input in the most effective ways to support full participation of English Learners in all school activities
Learn more about the programs offered to their children
Participate in the school’s needs assessment of students, parents, and teachers
Provide input on the most effective ways to ensure regular school attendance
Meet 4-5 times a year

Why is it important to get involved in ELAC?

At San Dieguito Union High School District, our ELAC meets to discuss the diverse needs of our English Learner students. We need you to come, share your feedback, and tell us how we can best support your child and family.

"The California Legislature is committed to assuring that parents/guardians of English learners have a voice in the education of their children. This belief is reflected in the passage of specific California Education Code (EC) and California Code of Regulation (CCR) sections requiring English Learner Advisory Committees (ELAC) and District English Learner Advisory Committees (DELAC) to be in place in schools and districts that educate English learners”.

Each school with 21 or more English Learners is required to have an ELAC.

All ELAC Meetings are held at district school sites. Please reference school site websites for more information on meeting dates and times.
