Milagros Bravo, Director of Second Language Programs, presented a program about the Title 3 ELL Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and Parent University at the October 20, 2014 Board of Education meeting. The goals of Parent University and PAC are to:

• Align home practices with school

• Build connections between home and school

• Build capacity between parents and community.

Parent University lasts two weeks. Participants enroll in classes that focus on technology, Common Core Standards, parenting, nutrition, mental health, Standards Based Grading, and home and financial management. Field trips to local and regional attractions are the highlight of Parent University. All activities and classes are organized to provide learning and structured play for all participants.

Bravo introduced members of the ELL PAC steering committee. President Murphy presented certificates to Cira Almaraz, Nerina Cabrera, Teresa Espinoza, Teodora Garcia, Maria F. Gonzalez, Jazmin Luna, Amada Rodea, Maria Cristina Ruiz, and Rosalba Herrera.
