What does LPAC stand for?

LPAC stands for Language Proficiency Assessment Committee. This committee plays a critical role in the educational framework, particularly in schools that serve English language learners. The primary function of the LPAC is to assess the language proficiency of students whose first language is not English and to provide guidance on their instructional placement and support services. This ensures that these students receive the appropriate resources and accommodations needed to succeed academically while they improve their English language skills. The focus of the LPAC is on both assessment and appropriate educational programming, aligning with best practices in language acquisition and educational equity.
