District English Learner Advisory Council (DELAC) The District English Learner Advisory Council is responsible for advising the school district governing board on matters pertaining to English learners. All districts with 51 or more English learners are required to have an established DELAC.

District Parent Advisory Committee (DPAC) The District Parent Advisory Council is focused on providing parents of the Coachella Valley Unified School District a collective voice to discuss matters pertaining to our district and schools. Each site has identified two parent representatives to serve this role. Participants provide advice and comment to the Board of Education and Superintendent through feedback on district initiatives, activities, and district plans.

The Facilities Committee meets monthly to review the status of construction projects throughout the district. The committee also reviews and provides direction on new initiatives that the Facilities Department brings forward for consideration, prior to being presented to the Board of Trustees for approval.

The Head Start program encourages strong parent involvement by participating in site parent meetings, Parent Policy Council meetings, and other site-related parent activities. Parent volunteerism is strongly encouraged. Parent involvement helps families gain the skills and knowledge that will help them become advocates for their children as they move through the TK-12 systems.

The committee is composed of representatives from our educational partner groups including parents, students, classified staff, certificated staff, board members, school administration, district administration, bargaining units, and community.

The Policy Committee meets to review, create and update district policies involving students, staff, teachers and parents. Policies are shared with all involved parties as soon as policies have been update, created or finalized.

The Program Committee is focused on reviewing, reflecting on, and providing upgrades to our current CVUSD Programs. The Committee spotlights one program at a time to look for ways to provide upgrades and significant resources for improvements. In the past, the Program Committee has provided support to the CVUSD Career Technological Education Program and Puente Project to improve the experiences for our students.
