Hawthorne School District Minutes
The District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) meeting included a review of DELAC responsibilities concerning district master plans, needs assessments, program goals, teacher requirements, reclassification procedures, parent notifications, and LCAP development. New business focused on updating the District EL Master Plan to align with the English Learner Roadmap, specifically reviewing the introduction, component one, and chapter one details. The committee also discussed the reclassification criteria for HMSA students, noting a potential switch from i-Ready to IXL due to better alignment with ELPAC skill domains. Unfinished business involved officer elections, resulting in the confirmation of Mrs. Portillo as President, Mrs. Cota-Acosta as Vice President, and Mrs. Rosales as Secretary. A partial comprehensive needs assessment was reviewed, highlighting needs such as newcomer support, designated ELD resources, classroom aides, and parent workshops. Discussions also covered the frequency of support provided by English Learner Special Projects teachers and data analysis for students who do not pass the ELPAC.
