What is the DELAC?
A district is required to form a DELAC if it has 51 or more English learner students. The committee comprises school staff, parents of EL students, other parents, and community members interested in English learner programs. At least 51 percent of the committee must be composed of parents of English learners not employed by the district. DELAC members are elected by ELAC members at school sites.

Advisory Duties
The DELAC aims to advise EL services and programs offered by the district. As an advisory group, DELAC members' duties include:

• Developing a Master Plan for educational programs and services to English Learners.
• Conducting a district-wide needs assessment on a school-by-school basis.
• Establishing district program goals and objectives for English Learners.
• Developing a plan to ensure compliance with teacher and paraprofessional requirements to teach English Learners.
• Administering the annual language census.
• Reviewing and commenting on the district’s reclassification procedures for English Learners.

The overall goal of the DELAC is to improve our English learners’ acquisition of fluency in English and to help our students achieve academic success.

DELAC Meetings
By law, all DELAC meetings, including subcommittee meetings, must be open to the public. Agendas should include student achievement data, reclassification data, and discussion aimed at increasing parental involvement. Items not listed on the agenda cannot be voted upon.
