In mid-September, Governor Newsom approved amendments to the 2025–26 Enacted State Budget, allocating an additional $81 million to support and expand the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) statewide. This increase in funding is expected to raise the Rate 2 per-pupil rate for eligible Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) from the current rate of $1,280.21 to $1,575 per pupil. The CDE will recalculate Rate 2 during the First Principal Apportionment in February 2026.
