School districts that have Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) Programs are required to establish a Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee. The committee is comprised of parents of children in the TBE program and other interested community members. Two-thirds of the committee members must be parents of children in the bilingual education program. The committee meets six times a year and participates in the planning, operation, and evaluation of the program. There are four main events during the year. All parents of students in the Bilingual Education Program are invited to become members of the Committee.
