What is BPAC?

BPAC is the Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee required for public school districts that offer transitional bilingual programs and/or transitional programs of instruction to multilingual learners. The committee meets at least four times per year (Section 228.30 Establishment of Programs: Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee) and consists of bilingual program parents, legal guardians of ELs, certified staff and other school personnel and EL community leaders. Membership is representative of the languages served by the District.

Four girls in colorful traditional dresses perform on a wooden floor in front of a backdrop with balloons and decorations.

Who Can Join?

All are welcome and encouraged to participate, including parents and guardians of students enrolled in bilingual or English Learner (EL) programs. BPAC meetings are open to the public and welcome to anyone interested in supporting bilingual education.

Mission Statement

To empower bilingual families through advocacy, education, and collaboration—ensuring that every multilingual learner in our district receives equitable access to high-quality instruction and support.
