Base Requests on Data: Always connect requests to clear metrics such as ELPAC scores, iReady results, attendance, or reclassification rates.
Align with Strategic Goals: Link requests directly to SPSA and LCAP priorities, such as Goal 1 (Academic Performance) or Goal 2 (School Climate).
Be Specific: Avoid general requests for "more support". Request clear deliverables, such as "30 minutes daily of designated ELD with a certified teacher".
Document in Writing: Submit formal written requests and ensure they are recorded in official ELAC meeting minutes.
Follow Up: Contact your DELAC representative if the SSC does not respond within 30 days.
