English Learners Advisory Committee

The purpose of Bilingual Education program is to provide eligible students the opportunity to acquire language skills in English necessary for their successful participation in an English-only instructional program. This is accomplished through various structured immersion models and primary language support. Students are transitioned into an English-only program when they meet established criteria.

For more information contact Maria Estella Hernandez at 310-841-5092.

Governance Council

The Governance Council is a collaborative group made up of the school's stakeholders including teachers, staff and parent representatives. This council discusses student activities, school environment, general fund school budgets, student discipline and behavior, curriculum and instruction, selection of certificated staff and school wide classified staff, along with parent education and involvement.

Compensatory Education Advisory Committee

The purpose of the Compensatory Education program is to meet the educational needs of economically disadvantaged students.

In general, CEAC brings parents, teachers, and administrators together to discuss issues affecting children whose academic proficiency is below grade level. This committee also makes budget recommendations to the School Site Council on how to allocate Title I funding. (Title 1 participants include students who are at risk of failing in school. Title I funds supplemental services needed to raise the academic achievement level of K through 12th grade participants in their academic career.)

Activities that fall under the purview of CEAC are the math and literacy workshops for parents, and afterschool math and reading clubs. A big push this year is to engage parents whose children are not working at grade level and to empower them to help their children succeed academically.
