ELAC

ELAC stands for English Learner Advisory Committee. All parents of English learners (ELs) are encouraged to participate in ELAC. The Colfax ELAC will provide written recommendations to the LSLC regarding programs and services for EL students. Recommendations are based on engagement data, reclassification rates, program placement data, surveys, and parent education.

Meetings are held 6 times a year in addition to  the mandatory orientation and election meetings.

Officers are elected at the beginning of each school year.
