English Learners(EL)/Bilingual Education
Welcome to the Hoover-Schrum School District #157 Bilingual Parent Advisory Council (BPAC). Our mission is to advocate for excellence in programs that serve all language learners within our district. BPAC is dedicated to providing families with support, communication, and valuable information to help them become bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural.
May 6, 2025: BPAC Meeting
Time: 5:00-6:00 PM
Location: Schrum Middle School, 485 165th Street, Calumet City, IL, 60409.
In accordance with the requirements for Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) programs, such as the ELL program in District 157, a Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee must be established. This committee consists of parents of children enrolled in the program, district staff, and other community members who are interested in supporting language learners. Importantly, two-thirds of the committee members are parents of children in the bilingual education program.
The committee meets at least four times a year, participating in the planning, operation, and evaluation of the bilingual education program. Additionally, they review the district's annual application to the Illinois State Board of Education. Once established, the committee operates independently, with the authority to elect officers and create its own rules and procedures.
The Hoover-Schrum #157 BPAC aims to:
Join us in our commitment to enriching the educational experience for all language learners in our community!
