What is English Learner Parent Advisory Council (ELPAC)?

ELPAC is a group of parents, guardians, and educators that come together to help the school district to better understand the needs of their students and to help us improve educational outcomes for them.

Why are ELPAC's important?

• Give advice to school leaders and schools on topics that are important to multilingual learners.
• They support students’ success.
• Children do better when their parents are part of the school community.
• It helps parents to better understand the system and to be able to have a voice in the system.
