Committees

Welcome Council and Committee Members

The Los Angeles Unified School District is proud to support advisory councils and committees whose members are selected to provide comments and contribute to school plans. As part of the District’s strategic plan, these councils and committees are integral to Pillar 3: Honoring Perspectives.

School Site Council and English Learner Advisory Committee

What are the unique functions of the SSC compared to the ELAC?

The School Site Council is a decision making body representative of students (secondary level), parents and legal guardians, school staff, certificated personnel, and school administration. They are assigned the responsibility of developing and approving the School Plan for Student Achievement, School Site Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy and the Compact.
The English Learner Advisory Committee is an advisory body assigned the responsibilities of learning about English Learner data, programs and services, as well as developing comments which are presented to the School Site Council.

Welcome Central District Committees

Los Angeles Unified also supports three District parent committees, which are advisory bodies elected to collaborate with the District in supporting specific student populations as outlined by the California Education Code. Starting in the 2024-25 school year, new membership will be arranged through Region elections. Each committee follows its own operating procedures, which are detailed in the committee bylaws.
