District-level English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC)

SUHSD serves over 9300 English Learners. Our DELAC parent group meets monthly to advise the local governing board on programs and services for English Learners. The DELAC assists in developing and providing input in establishing district programs and goals for English Learners. Each school with an English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) elects representatives to serve on the DELAC. The DELAC provides regular updates to the board regarding the needs of English Learners.

Comité Consultivo del Distrito para la Adquisición del Inglés (DELAC*)

El Distrito SUHSD brinda servicios a más de 9300 alumnos en vías de aprender inglés. El grupo de padres de familia del DELAC se reúne mensualmente con el fin de aconsejar a los miembros de la mesa directiva del Distrito sobre los programas y servicios para dichos alumnos. El propósito del DELAC es apoyar y aportar ideas y sugerencias para el desarrollo de programas y para lograr metas para los alumnos en vías de aprender inglés. Las escuelas en las que se cuenta con comité consultivo para alumnos en vías de aprender inglés (ELAC*) elijen a los representantes del DELAC. El DELAC rinde informes, con regularidad, ante la mesa directiva del Distrito sobre las necesidades de los alumnos en vías de aprender inglés.

English Learner Master Plan (ELMP)

What is the English Learner Master Plan (ELMP)? We are so proud to have a draft of the English Learner Master Plan for SUHSD. It reflects our deep commitment to our EL students, including our special needs, immigrant, migrant, refugee, and SLIFE (Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education) students. Most of the plan simply states what staff are already doing and have done for some years in Sweetwater. It reflects the tireless efforts and commitment of our leadership, teachers, support staff, and community in working towards the limitless success of our EL students.
