ELO-P represents a significant source of funding for schools in Los Angeles County.  \nAs currently configured, all school districts and most charter schools that offer instruction for grades Transitional Kindergarten-6 are eligible for funding with the funds distributed via a formula designed to send more dollars to schools with more high-needs students (based upon the unduplicated student percentage or UPP) .  \nELO-P overlaps with existing programs. Including the After School Education and Safety (ASES) program and the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) programs. According to the California Department of Education, these programs are intended to work together to form a single comprehensive effort.  \nThe Expanded Learning Opportunities Program  \nCalifornia has invested an impressive $13.75 billion in the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) over the last few years (2021-2025) . Expanded learning programs focus on enriching learning opportunities that fall outside of the regular school day. ELO-P provides funding for before school, after school, summer, and intersession learning programs.  \nThis brief is the first in a series that will take a close look at the ELO-P in Los Angeles County. The goal 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 and use of current and future funding and high quality program offerings for kids that meets the needs of families.  \nThis brief is divided into two parts. First, it gives a general overview of the ELO-P, describing the program’s purpose, which schools are eligible to participate, how much funding they receive, and how the program overlaps with other initiatives in California. The second part of the brief focuses on Los Angeles County, detailing how funding was allocated among its districts and charter schools.  \nPart I: The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program 3  \nWhat is the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program?  \nThe Expanded Learning Opportunities Program provides funding for before school, after school, summer, and intersession (e.g. fall and spring breaks) enrichment programs to students in transitional kindergarten (TK) through 6th grade. The program extends the school day to a minimum of 8-9 hours, when combined with instructional time, recess, and meals.  \nFor the period of implementation that we have focused upon (2023/2024), expanded learning programs are intended to go beyond the classroom, engaging students in “enrichment, play, nutrition, and other developmentally appropriate activities.” The programs should contain“pupil-centered, results driven, activities…that develop the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of pupils through hands-on, engaging learning experiences.”During this time, the expanded learning program must include both (1) a homework assistance or tutoring program (e.g. literacy coaches, high-dosage tutors, and teachers aides) and (2) an educational enrichment program that may include fine arts, career technical education, recreation, physical fitness, and prevention activities. The activities should not replicate the learning activities in the regular school day and activities funded by ELO-P cannot be provided during regular school day hours.  \nThere is technical assistance to support Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in implementing 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 planning, evaluation, and tra","cbCairEv0Op7mEmg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairEv0Op7mEmg","pdf",5119322,12,"English","# Key Takeaways\n## The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program\n### What is the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program?\n### How much funding do districts and charter schools receive","[{\"question\":\"What does ELO-P fund for students in Los Angeles County?\",\"answer\":\"ELO-P funds enrichment programs before school, after school, summer, and during intersessions (such as fall and spring breaks) for students in transitional kindergarten through 6th grade.\"},{\"question\":\"How are ELO-P funds allocated to eligible districts and charter schools?\",\"answer\":\"Funds are apportioned using a formula that considers total available funding, average daily attendance (ADA), and the unduplicated pupil percentage (UPP), using a two-tier rate system based on UPP.\"},{\"question\":\"What program components are required within the expanded learning model?\",\"answer\":\"Programs must include both a homework assistance or tutoring component and an educational enrichment component.
