Meetings will be held every quarter on the following dates at 2:30 p.m. in the Parent Center (Room 7).

TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENTS:

1. The preferred option for commenting on a specific agenda item or for providing general public comment under Public Comments is to submit your comment via email delatorrea@bcsd.com to Ms. DeLaTorre. Please include your name and clearly indicate the agenda item number you wish to address. If a speaker seeks to address non-agendized matters during a regular meeting, the email should indicate “Public Comment – Non-Agendized Matter.” Should the public speaker not want their name stated publicly, please specify at the top of the message.
2. In order to be read aloud during the meeting, comments must be received the day before the SSC meeting.
3. During special meetings, public comment is limited to items on the agenda.

During the meeting, comments will be read aloud by the ELAC Chairperson and they will be added to the meeting minutes. Please note, the Board may exercise its discretion regarding the amount of time for each public comment depending on the number of emails received. As with in-person meetings, the English Learner Advisory Committee respects the right of the public to comment on ELAC matters. The content of messages should be civil and appropriate for a public meeting of an ELAC.

We thank you for your cooperation during these unprecedented times.
