Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P)
What is the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P)?
What is the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P)?
The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (E.L.O.P) is established beginning in fiscal year 2021-22 and provides funding for afterschool and summer school enrichment programs for transitional kindergarten through sixth grade. Local educational agencies benefit from $1.75 billion dollars in FY21-22 with an anticipated growth to $5 billion dollars within 3-5 years.
The ELO Program is established by Assembly Bill (AB) 130, Chapter 44, Statutes of 2021, as amended by AB 167, Chapter 252, Statutes of 2021. Funding for the 2021–22 ELO Program is provided in Item 6100-110-0001 of the Budget Act of 2021 (Senate Bill 129, Chapter 69, Statutes of 2021), and EC Section 46120(f).
“Expanded learning” means before school, after school, summer, or intersession learning programs that focus on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of pupils through hands-on, engaging learning experiences. It is the intent of the Legislature that expanded learning programs are pupil-centered, results driven, include community partners, and complement, but do not replicate, learning activities in the regular schoolday and school year.
