EMLAC - English Learners Advisory Committee.
When a school has at least 21 students in the english learning program, it is required by law to have a working EMLAC (Emerging Multilingual Learners Advisory Committee). Schools are responsible for ensuring that EMLAC committees have received materials and training for the committee members to carry out the legal compliance and its obligations. The committee should be formed mostly by parents.
