The California Department of Education, Expanded Learning Division (EXLD) will suspend grant reductions for one additional calendar year only. This applies to After School Education and Safety (ASES), 21^st Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Elementary and Middle School, and ASSETs grants. The EXLD has heard from grantees across the state and understands the various circumstances that made meeting attendance goals challenging, particularly in the Spring of 2023.

The next round of reductions will analyze attendance data from Calendar Year 2024, which will be used to calculate grant reductions that will take effect July 1, 2025.

The EXLD will not be accepting Attendance Relief Requests at this time. Please keep a record of all program closures and disruptions for future reference. 

Thank you for doing everything possible to support our students and their families.
