The purpose of the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) is specifically designated to provide parents of English Learners the opportunity to offer input and advise the principal and school staff on English Learner program instruction and services. ELACs are not decision making councils nor do they approve expenditures from any funding source. However, they do provide input and advise on school decisions and the use of funding sources dedicated to English Learner pupils (5 CCR § 11308(b)).
