All public school districts in California are required to form a District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) if they have 51 or more English Learner students. The committee is comprised of school staff, parents of English Learner students, and other parents and community members who are interested in English Learner programs. At least 51 percent of the committee must be made up of parents of English Learner students who are not employed by the district. DELAC members are elected by English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) members at school sites.
For more information about DELAC, please contact Carla Estrada-Hidalgo, Coordinator of English Language Development & Title 1 Programs, at 925-960-2949.
