Expanded Learning Opportunities Program

EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM (ELOP)

What is the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP)?
The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) will begin for LHCSD in the 2023-24 school year. “Expanded learning” means after school, summer, or intersession learning programs that focus on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of pupils through hands-on, engaging learning experiences. This program is intended to support qualified TK-6th grade students with free after school, inner session, and summer programs for a minimum of 9 hours of care each day (which includes the full instructional day). To qualify for ELOP, the student must be part of our Unduplicated Count which includes: Free and Reduced Meal Program; Foster Youth/Homeless;  English Learners.

California Education Code Section 46120

What does it mean for LHCSD?
Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, LHCSD in partnership with the LaHabra Boys and Girls Club will provide in-person after school expanded learning opportunities at each of our 7 elementary TK-6 schools. All TK-6 students who qualify will be offered these opportunities for the 180 days that students are in session and at least 30 non-instructional days outside of their regular school year free of cost. This program is intended to support students for a total of 9 hours inclusive of the school day.  More detailed program information and hours of support will be provided by your local school site as the 2023-2024 school year approaches. 

How will it be implemented? 
On LHCSD’s 180 instructional days, we must provide in-person after school expanded learning opportunities that when added to daily instructional minutes are no less than 9 hours of combined instructional time and expanded learning opportunities per instructional day:

Core Instructional Day (includes recess/lunch)   +   Expanded Learning (after school) =   9 HOURS

For at least 30 non-instructional days, during intersessional periods, no less than 9 hours of in-person expanded learning opportunities per day. We will provide ELOP services after school (not before) for the minimum of 9 hours total using LHCSD facilities.
