ELAC
Schools with 21 or more students in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program must establish an English Learner Advisory Committee. The purpose of ELAC is to advise the principal and school staff on programs and services for English Learners. At Zamorano, the ELAC is a subcommittee of the School Site Council/Site Governance Team (SSC/SGT). The subcommittee serves as the advisory body to the school on four key issues:

* The school plan for English Learners
* Needs assessment
* Administration of language census
* Efforts to make parents aware of the importance of attendance

ELAC officers are elected every two years and the committee meets once a month.

For more information, email Zamorano's ELAC Advisor, Carol Walsh (cwalsh@sandi.net).
