(Action)
1. Call to order at 9:02a.m.
 Welcome/Pledge of Allegiance
 Quorum check (24/44 members) – not met at this time.
2. ELSD EL Advisory Committees (handout)
 Ms. Alvarez, Assistant Superintended presented on ELSD EL Advisory
Committees on behalf of Dr. Perez.
 If a school site has more than 15% English Learner’s, there needs to be
an ELAC and a DELAC.
 Ms. Alvarez went over the importance of DELAC and their role with
LCAP.
 School Site Council (SSC), ELAC and DELAC are the committees that
provide advice and input regarding services and expenditures for EL’s
in the district Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
3. LCAP Goal 4 (handout)
 Mr. Delacalzada went over and discussed LCAP Goal 4: Develop
coherent and transparent systems for operational excellence to
support each student’s success.
 In this goal there are three particular areas in order to develop
coherent and transparent systems. They are:
- Systems that support student engagement and success.
- Improve and streamline business processes and services within
and between departments to endure all stake holders have access
to support resources, timely customer service, and user friendly,
time saving, technology applications.
- Systems that ensure highly qualified staff are recruited and hired
in a timely manner to support student success.
 We have initiated a one to one program so that each student can have
a computer devise. This past year it was rolled out to 9th and 10th
graders, this year to 11th graders and in 2017-2018 it will be rolled out
to seniors. Our 7th and 8th graders already have a one to one devise
which is their iPads and in high school they will be using the Lenovo
laptops.
 In February we go through a process of budgeting and review all
requests from all schools and department and prioritize to make sure
that it incorporates LCAP as a primary foundation.
 Ensure students have access to quality nutrition where food is
properly prepared, appealing, well-balanced, and provided in a variety
of options.
 Nutrition services had done a great job this past school year by
improving the menu and communicating that out to parents.
 Questions/comments from parents regarding nutrition were:
Better communication to students/parents on programs that are
available.
- How is the district communicating nutrition “facts/best
practices” to our students?
- When are student focus groups held to acquire direct input from
students?
- Is there a program available to our students that ensures all
students have something to eat?
- Regarding action items, establish a plan/report on the progress.

5. Provide input on RFEP Criteria (handout)
 Ms. Wilcox went over and discussed reclassification of English
Learners.
 Reclassification is the process we go through at the district to
determine if the student has sufficient English language fluency to
perform in an English program with no support.
 Education Code (EC) Section 313(f) specifies that multiple measures
be used to reclassify EL’s but must include at least all four of the
following criteria:
- Assessment of English language proficiency
- Teacher evaluation
- Parental opinion and consultation
- Comparison of student performance in basic skills against an
empirically established range of performance in basic skills based
on the performance of English proficient students of the dame
age.
 Decision is made locally.
 In order for a student to be reclassified, a student must get an overall
proficiency CELDT score of 4 or 5.
 Ms. Wilcox went over the 2016-17 English Learner Reclassification
Summary Form.
