English Language Learner Information

The English Language Development Program is designed to help English Learners achieve language proficiency and academic achievement comparable to that of the average native speaker within the district as quickly and effectively as possible. Students whose home language surveys indicate a language other than English are assessed using the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California or ELPAC. Those students who demonstrate limited English proficiency are designated English Learners (EL). EL's receive appropriate language instruction based on their language proficiency level.

For more information on the ELPAC:

Parent Engagement Leads to Student Success!

At Wiseburn USD we encourage all parents to get involved in their child's education. We care about our families and your voice matters. We offer several committees that all parents are welcome to join. Learn more below.

English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) &
District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC)

ELAC'S Function

ELAC Composition Requirements

Parents of English learners comprise at least the same percentage of the ELAC membership as English learners constitute of the school's total student population. For example, if 25 percent of the students in a school are English learners, then parents/guardians of English learners must comprise 25 percent of the ELAC membership.
Other members of the ELAC can be parents/guardians, school staff, and /or community members as long as the minimum percentage requirement for EL parents is maintained.
