District English Language Advisory Committee (DELAC): During the school year the DELAC meetings have been focused on the
• September 18, 2015 education of parents of English Learners with a specific emphasis of informing
• October 23, 2015 them of district and community resources available for them to access as well
• December 4, 2015 as how to navigate the school system . Via the LCAP online survey, formal
• January 15, 2016 meeting agenda items and informal input from parents, we have been able to
• March 18, 2016 glean the following priorities for this subgroup of parents. Parents of English
• April 22, 2016 Learners stated they would like to see students using technology and teachers
• May 20, 2016 participating professional development that supported the blending of
technology into the curriculum. Hence, professional development for
teachers to embed technology in instruction was included in the LCAP to
reflect this. Additionally, they wanted schools to offer intervention/tutoring
programs for students that were struggling. Further, Expository Reading and
Writing Courses were added to our secondary schools with a reduced class size
to help English Learners and Low Income students meet state standards as well
as intervention and academic support such as credit recovery, summer school
and CAHSEE support. Parents of English Learners also shared that they would
like to see more focus on college with the students and their families. This
could be through College and Career fairs, guest speakers or just information
meetings focused not just at secondary but at elementary as well. In the LCAP
review process, DELAC reviewed the draft and gave comments at the meetings
on 4/22 and 5/20.

• October 28, 2015 offered at schools this year and asked district to continue and/or increase
• February 10, 2016 what we had implemented. Their additional request for resources and college
• April 27, 2016 workshops were added to the LCAP. DAC members all were asked to submit
• May 25, 2016 their input via our stakeholder survey. Committee members also made
recommendations on future LCAP survey questions and ways to increase
stakeholder engagement in taking the survey by providing different surveys for
students that is more kid-friendly. Another suggestion to consider in our LCAP
goal 5 on parent engagements was made about providing digital citizenship
support to parents as well by our Instructional Technology Department. In the
LCAP review process our DAC reviewed the draft and gave comments during
the scheduled meetings on 4/27 and 5/25.
