ELO Program Resources
Program Planning & Development
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.
