1 Establishing an English Learner Advisory Committee Categorical Management Meeting February 20, 2008

2 Overview California Ed. Code (52176[b]) states, “each school with more than 20 pupils of limited English proficiency shall establish a school level advisory committee on which parents or guardians, or both, of such pupils constitute membership in at least the same percentage as their children and wards represent of the total number of pupils in the school”. In addition, the law is clear that “the parents or guardians of English learners shall elect the parent members of the school advisory committee. The parents shall be provided the opportunity to vote in the election”.

Determine the percentage of English learners in the school and determine preliminary size of the committee. Notify all parents in the school of the election of parents to serve on the ELAC. Conduct the parent elections. Only parents of English learners may vote. Train members on their roles and responsibilities. ELAC decides to remain a committee. ELAC meets 4-5 times throughout the year ELAC assumes its roles and responsibilities. ELAC elects a member to the DELAC SSC accepts ELAC responsibilities (record in SSC minutes). SSC gets trained on ELAC roles and responsibilities. SSC assumes ELAC roles and responsibilities and meets throughout the year. SSC elects a member to the DELAC. ELAC votes to delegate its duties and responsibilities to the SSC. (record in ELAC minutes). CHART FOR ESTABLISHING AN ELAC

4 Step 1 Determine the percentage of English learners at the school site. School Total SchoolNumber of ELsPercentage of *Enrollment*EnrolledELs Enrolled Fremont % Harding % Harris % Hort % Jefferson % Pauly % Pioneer % Chavez551448% Williams % College Heights % * Enrollment as of November, 2007

5 Step 2 Total ELAC Membership Number of Staff Number of other parents Number of parents of ELs % of parents of ELs % % % % % % % Determine the preliminary size of the advisory committee. Here are some examples of membership:

6 Step 3 Notify the Parent Community of ELAC Elections All parents in the school may be elected to serve on the committee. The principal should notify all parents that an election of ELAC members will occur and that nominations are open. This notification can be sent home to parents. Step 4 Election of Members to Serve on the ELAC The law requires that only parents/guardians of English learners elect the parent/guardians members of the ELAC. Parents of non-English learners and staff may also be part of the committee, as long as they’re elected by a parent/guardian of an English learner.

7 Established ELAC Once the ELAC has been established it must meet throughout the year to assume its roles and responsibilities. Copies (English and Spanish) of the composition form, bylaws, agendas, minutes, and sign-in sheets must be provided to the ELL Department.

8 Delegating duties to the SSC Although the law does allow the ELAC to delegate its responsibilities to another advisory committee, this practice has created some compliance problems for school sites. The ELAC must be legally constituted and properly trained before it can delegate its responsibilities to the SSC. If the SSC votes to accept these responsibilities (must be recorded in the minutes), they must receive proper training on ELAC roles and responsibilities, and then assume all of the duties of an independent ELAC, including the election of at least one member to the DELAC.
