Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) is a state funded program that supports afterschool and summer school enrichment programs for kindergarten, including transitional kindergarten, through sixth grade. 

“Expanded Learning” means before school, after school, summer, or intersession learning programs that focus on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs os students. It is the intent of the California State Legislature that expanded learning programs are pupil-centered, results driven, include community partners, and complement regular school day learning activities.

After School Education and Safety (ASES) is a state-funded program that is a result of the voter-approved Proposition 49. ASES programs run in elementary and middle schools throughout the state of California. All ASES funded programs must align with the core instructional day and have the following components:

• Educational and literacy element (tutoring/ homework assistance).

• Educational enrichment element (additional programs/ activities that reinforce what is learned in the core instructional day).

• Provide a nutritious snack or meal that conforms to California State Education Code requirements.
