District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC)



To meet the varied needs of English Language Learners (ELL) and families, the District provides programs that offer support to students acquiring English as a second language.

English-as-a-Second Language and Primary Language Support in Spanish are offered at each school site.

Bilingual/Spanish Immersion Program serves Spanish-speaking students at César Chávez Elementary School, one of the District's Spanish immersion schools. Montgomery Elementary houses the District's Spanish immersion program for grades K-1. Spanish-speaking students receive academic instruction in Spanish as they acquire proficiency in English. In the intermediate grades, students receive academic content in two languages.

English Language Learners Parent Meetings are held throughout the District to provide information and support to parents of students acquiring English. Please contact your student's counselor or the parent representatives for further details.
