Birney Elementary English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
The English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) is an elected body of parents, staff and community members who volunteer and advocate as the voice for our Multilingual (English) Learners.
As a body, the ELAC is responsible for giving specific feedback on the school site plan, site decisions, programs and budget. It is our hope that by focusing on ongoing improvement of English language development through ongoing reflection and revision of teaching and learning we will also improve student engagement, attendance, and achievement for English language learners. By working together to demonstrate value and support for mother-tongue and home-culture, we aim to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for all families attending Birney Elementary. For more information about ELAC please contact the office or attend our schedule meetings. Your suggestions, ideas, and experiences are important to us. We look forward to meeting you at our next meeting.
Everyone is welcome but only elected members have voting rights.
ELAC Commitee Members receive training to be able to review, recommend and set goals to improve EL student achievement at the school as well as advise the principal regarding various programs in the school, including state and federally-funded programs related to Multilingual (English) Learners.
Meetings: 6-8 times per year
