What is a BAC?
The Bilingual Advisory Committee is a parent-led group that supports the families of students in bilingual and English Learner (EL) programs. It ensures that parents of English Learners have a voice in the education of their children and helps build stronger partnerships between schools and families.
Purpose of the BAC
- Promote academic achievement for English Learners
- Provide input on the school’s Bilingual Education Program
- Educate parents on school and district policies, resources, and rights
- Organize workshops and meetings to empower bilingual families
- Ensure parent representation in school decision-making (often collaborates with the LSC)
Who's Involved
- Parents of English Learners
- Bilingual program staff
- School leaders (e.g., ELPT—English Learner Program Teacher)
- Community members
