Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant

The Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) Grant was introduced as part of the 2021-2022 California State Budget. The state allocated funding to expand access to high-quality, after-school, summer, and intersession programs for K-12 students, particularly focusing on addressing learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ELO Grant is designed to support programs that serve students during non-school hours and provide enriching activities beyond the typical school day.

Key Features of ELO Grant:

Eligibility: The grant targets students in grades K-6, with a focus on supporting those who are from low-income families, English learners, foster youth, and other students who may be at risk academically or socially.
Funding Allocation: In California, the ELO Grant is distributed to school districts based on enrollment, with districts receiving additional funds if they have higher numbers of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Program Requirements:
- Before- and After-School Programs: Districts must offer programs that are accessible to all students, with specific outreach to underserved populations.
- Summer Programs: Funds are used to extend learning during summer months to prevent learning loss and keep students engaged.
- Intersession Programs: Schools can offer educational opportunities during breaks, such as winter or spring breaks, to provide additional support to students who need it.
