Last week at the BOOST Conference, CAN released After School and Summer Learning at Risk: A State of the State of Expanded Learning in California Issue Brief. This two-page issue brief outlines that California’s Expanded Learning infrastructure, which serves approximately 860,000 of California’s most economically disadvantaged students and English Learners is at risk. Increasing costs in the face of stagnant funding leave After School Education and Safety (ASES) programs in danger of closing, meanwhile federal budget proposals to eliminate the federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program would result in the closure of K-12 after school and summer learning programs. The issue brief provides information on Senate Bill 78 (SB 78, Leyva), which if passed would increase the ASES daily rate by $1.50 (to $9.00 per student per day) through a budget augmentation in 2017-18 with future increases tied to increases in the state minimum wage. Additionally the issue brief describes ways that stakeholders can stay informed, get engaged, and take action. Access the After School and Summer Learning At-Risk issue brief.
