District English Learners Advisory Committee (DELAC)

The District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) is a committee that provides oversight on the English Learner (EL) program and works with district leadership to provide a high quality program for MUHSD students. Each campus sends one representative from their English Learner Advisory Committee to review and comment on key policies and procedures in our district. The DELAC members pictured were instrumental in creating and administering a student survey of our EL students as part of our annual program review. We thank our DELAC parents for their commitment and service to our EL program, its students and staff.

Schools with 21 or more English Learners shall establish a functioning school-level advisory committee. Parents/guardians of English Learners shall have an opportunity to elect parent members of the committee; the committee shall be constituted of membership in at least the same ratio as English Learners within the whole school enrollment. The committee shall also select one representative and one alternate to attend the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC).

The committee advices the principal and staff on topics relating to English Learners, including:

  • The development of the school's plan for English Learners
  • The development of the school's needs assessment
  • Administration of the school's language census (R-30)
  • Activities designed to make parents aware of the importance of regular school attendance
