ELAC
Borel Middle School English Learner Advisory Committee
The English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC), composed of families of multilingual students, makes recommendations regarding programs for students with second language needs. The purpose of the ELAC is to provide parents of English Learners opportunities to: Learn more about the programs offered to their children. We meet 5-6 times a year at a time that works best for those involved. Meetings are conducted in English and Spanish and we can request additional translation as well.

Volunteer tutors work with adults who want to improve their essential reading and writing skills, enabling them to achieve personal learning goals, like reading a story to a child, voting for the first time, or completing a job application form. The program raises literacy levels—and the quality of life—in the City of San Mateo.
