In 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom and the Legislature established the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELO-P), which provides ongoing state funding of $4 billion (as of Fiscal Year 24-25) to school districts and charter schools for Expanded Learning programs. California’s students and families have benefited from this investment, however, statewide impact data is not yet available.

The Research Evaluation and Strategy Committee (RESC) convened by the California Department of Education, Expanded Learning Division (CDE EXLD) in partnership with the California AfterSchool Network (CAN), gathered a diverse group of interest holders that came together to identify and collect existing data, and elevate stories of impact, thus the ELO-P Data Snacks were born. 

Seven Data Snacks have been created so far utilizing data collected from the field. You can explore each Data Snack individually by clicking on the links to the right.

This is an ongoing project, keep up to date with new additions by checking this page regularly.
