the importance of delack and elacs. and -- delacs and elacs and i know that some of the elacs are functioning very well, others, i don't know if they even exist. so i would like to ask for the superintendent, that staff really do an inventory and give us a report in a month's time or i think that would do it, in terms of where the questions were, do they have elacs? and do they turn over the responsibility to the school site council or not? and whether or not they feel that they're getting communication from delac or not. and the other thing i would like to recommend is that if we're sending information to the principals, are we sending it through email? >> yes. vice president yee: so, the other thing i would like to ask staff to do would be to get the email, if they have them, get the email address of all the chairs of elacs so you can send it -- you can easily send the information to both of them, the chair and the principal, rather than it goes to the principal and then, you know, it's a little cumbersome to me. and
