Monomoy Regional School District launches Multilingual Parent Advisory Council

To better understand and integrate the many voices in the school community, Monomoy Regional School District will be launching a Multilingual Parent Advisory Council. The Monomoy MLPAC, which in some districts is called an ELPAC (English Learner Parent Advisory Council), provides opportunities for parents, caregivers, and community members to share experiences and advocacy with each other and with Monomoy administrators and educators.

The Monomoy MLPAC will provide members with the ability to collaborate with the school district to promote multilingual students’ engagement and success. Members of the Monomoy MLPAC will engage in advising the school district on matters related to English learners and multilingual families, such as providing advice on English learner education programs, meeting regularly with school officials about educational opportunities for English learners, and providing input on school or district improvement plans as they relate to English learners.

The development of the Monomoy MLPAC depends on building supportive and trusting collaborative partnerships among and between parents/caregivers, school staff and leaders, and community members. The first organizational meeting of the Monomoy MLPAC will be held November 19, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. in the Monomoy Regional High School Library.
