Out of the 79 school districts in Los Angeles County, we were only able to locate 40 plans via web searches.  \n• Our review of the available plans found that they are relatively broad in the description of how the LEA will apply the ELO-P resources. Although the overall approaches described in the plans reflect the guidance provided by the CDE, absent specifics or a budget breakdown, it is difficult to ascertain just how much emphasis the district intends to place on the different elements.  \nHow will the money be spent?  \nCalifornia has invested $13.75 billion in the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) through 2024- 25. ELO-P provides funding for before school, after school, summer, and intersession learning programs. The first round of funding was allocated to local educational agencies (LEAs) in 2021-22, and funding has been distributed every year since. When establishing the program in 2021, the Administration set a target of funding the program at $5 billion annually on an ongoing basis, and provides $4 billion in the current school year.  \nThis series takes a close look at the ELO-P in Los Angeles County, recipient of just over one quarter ($1.1 billion/year) of the total state allocated funds. The goal of the series is to better understand how ELO-P funds are being distributed and spent with the aim of supporting policymakers in ensuring equity and efficacy in the distribution of current and future funding, and high quality program offerings for kids that meet the needs of families. In the first post, the Opportunity Institute provided an overview of the program and examined LEA funding amounts in Los Angeles County. In this second post, we will look into how LEAs in Los Angeles County propose to spend the apportioned funds.  \nWhat kinds of activities is the Expanded Learning 3  \nOpportunities Program intended to fund?  \nThe ELO-P provides funding for before school, after school, summer, and intersession learning programs to students in grades transitional kindergarten through 6th grade. Expanded learning programs are meant to go beyond the  classroom to engage students in “enrichment, play, nutrition, and other developmentally appropriate activities.” Expanded learning opportunities are described as “pupil-centered, results driven, activities…that develop the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of pupils through hands-on, engaging learning experiences.”  \nMore specifically, the expanded learning program must include (1) a homework assistance or tutoring program and (2) an educational enrichment program. The homework assistance initiatives might include literacy coaches,  \nhigh-dosage tutors, and teacher’s aids. The educational enrichment programs could include fine arts, career technical education, recreation, physical fitness, and prevention activities.  \nTo help LEAs implement the program, the California Department of Education has allocated up to $5 million to the System of Support for Expanded Learning (SSEL) to provide assistance with plan","cbCaiaOfMcPzAInp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaOfMcPzAInp","pdf",6606539,"English","# How will the money be spent?\n## What kinds of activities is the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program intended to fund?\n## Expanded Learning Opportunities Program Plans","[{\"question\":\"What activities must ELO-P expanded learning programs include?\",\"answer\":\"Programs must include (1) a homework assistance or tutoring program and (2) an educational enrichment program.
