Advisory Committees

The Woodland Unified School District strongly supports the involvement of all parents, including those parents of English Learners, in the educational process of their children. Parents are encouraged to participate in their child’s school sites’ English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). Each participating school site holds a minimum of seven to nine general sessions per school year. This functioning body advises the school site on programs and services for English Language Learners. By participating on your child’s school sites’ ELAC, you have the opportunity to serve as a committee member of our District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC). This district level committee consists of parents, teachers, administrators, and district personnel who are interested in becoming knowledgeable about and more involved with the English Learner program.

The DELAC shall advise the school district governing board on all of the following tasks:

Development of an LEA master plan, including policies, per the State Board of Education (SBE) EL Roadmap Policy, guiding consistent implementation of EL educational programs and services that takes into consideration the SPSAs.
Conducting of an LEA-wide needs assessment on a school-by-school basis.
Establishment of LEA program, goals, and objectives for programs and services for ELs per the SBE-adopted EL Roadmap Policy.
Development of a plan to ensure compliance with any applicable teacher and instructional aide requirements.
Review and comment on the LEA’s reclassification procedures.
Review and comment on the written notifications required to be sent to parents and guardians. (5 CCR Section 11308)
