In Illinois, a Multilingual Parent Advisory Committee is a group of key stakeholders formed within schools to support and enhance the educational experience of students who are English Language Learners (ELLs).

The committee includes bilingual parents, educators, and community members. Their role is to provide input on the development and implementation of bilingual and ESL programs, address concerns related to language barriers, and promote effective communication between the school and bilingual families.
