Superintendent's response to the DELAC's input and feedback to the 2024-27 LCAP

Each California public school district, grades Transitional kindergarten through 12, with 51 or more English learners must form a District-level English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) or subcommittee of an existing district-wide advisory committee.

The purpose of the DELAC, or subcommittee on English learner education, is to advise the district’s local governing board (e.g., in person, by letters/reports) on programs and services for English learners.
