Multilingual Families, formerly DELAC, urges more parent involvement for English learners
Summary
A parent representing Multilingual Families (formerly the District English Learners Advisory Committee) said the group aims to reframe multilingualism as a strength and urged more parents from schools across the district to join and collaborate on how to support English learners.
A parent representing Multilingual Families, formerly known as the District English Learners Advisory Committee, said the group is a resource for parents of English learners and encouraged broader participation from families across the district.
The speaker said the committee changed its name to present multilingualism positively and to help students “know that them being multilingual is a superpower.” They described the group as a districtwide network of parents who meet to share ideas presented by ELAC (English Learner Advisory Committees) from individual schools and to coordinate support for students and families.
“The more people we have involved, the more we can succeed,” the speaker said, urging parents of English learners to join the group.
The remarks focused on outreach and framing rather than on a specific policy proposal, and no formal board action or vote was recorded in the provided transcript. Details such as meeting date, membership numbers, and any planned follow-up actions were not specified in the transcript.
