The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) requires the
development of a program plan by each Local Educational
Agency (LEA) that receives an ELO-P apportionment. The
program plan needs to be approved by the
LEA’s Governing Board in a public meeting and posted on the
LEA’s website.
The California Department of Education Expanded Learning Division
(EXLD) has created a Program
Plan Guide* to support LEAs to create their own
Program Plans.
ACCESS THE PROGRAM PLAN GUIDE
Important things to know about the Program Plan:
-
Due Date: There currently is no due date for
Program Plans.
-
Living Document: The program plan template
guide is considered a living document that is periodically
reviewed and adjusted to reflect the needs of the community,
updates in the law, and to provide continuous improvement in
the development of an effective ELO-P.
-
Timing: The LEA is responsible for creating,
reviewing, and updating the program plan every
three years.
-
Collaboration: LEAs are encouraged to work
collaboratively with partners and staff to develop and review
the program plan. The LEA is responsible for the plan and the
oversight of any community partners or subcontractors. The LEA
should include any partners in the development and review of
the plan. It is recommended that the plan be reviewed annually.
-
Quality
Standards: The program plan is structured around
the Quality
Standards for Expanded Learning in California. The program
plan requires a narrative response to 11 of the 12 Quality
Standards.
Questions about the program plan should be directed to the EXLD
at expandedlearning@cde.ca.gov.
