“Expanded Learning” means before school, after school, summer, or intersession learning programs that focus on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of students through hands-on, engaging learning experiences.

It is the intent of the Legislature that Expanded Learning programs are student-centered, results driven, include community partners, and complement, but do not replicate, learning activities in the regular school day and school year.
