What is BEPAC?
BEPAC stands for Bilingual Education Parent Advisory Committee. According to the State of New Jersey's Department of Education, every school district should have an advisory committee for parents of students enrolled in Bilingual/ESL programs. In Elizabeth, this committee is formed by various stakeholders in Bilingual/ESL education and meets about 4-5 times per year. This committee helps plan parent workshops that take place 4-5 times per year and provides valuable feedback about our Bilingual/ESL programs.
