The Partnership for Children and Youth is asking LEAs and CBOs to complete surveys on how ELO-P is being effectively utilized in your area! As there is currently no statewide data on ELO-P, the surveys, together with interviews with a number of LEAs and CBOs, are primarily intended to collect data and other measures of success to raise awareness and support from state decision makers in this current budget cycle (multi-billion dollar deficits) for sustained funding of ELO-P. Also, it is intended to cultivate support for effectively leveraging ELO-P funding, to raise awareness and support from local decision makers so they invest their ELO-P funding effectively, and to help inform what data should be collected at the state level.

Responses to the survey will be kept confidential (only Partnership for Children and Youth staff/consultant will see your responses). Data and other information associated with your program will not be shared publicly without your approval. Again, the goal of survey collection is a summative understanding of ELO-P’s impact. Our goal is for surveys to be completed by April 12th, with the intent to analyze the responses and summarize key findings by mid-May, before the FY 24-25 state budget is final.

Please consider completing this survey:

• Link to CBO survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3BKX2Q5 
• Timeline: Complete the survey before Friday, April 12th
• Target audience to take the survey: Expanded learning directors/coordinators 

Expanded learning directors/coordinators for LEAs (districts, charters) or CBOs (community-based organization, municipal agency or other non-LEA/charter provider) may wish to consult with other staff, including finance and data staff, prior to completing the survey. You can preview survey questions and answer options for LEAs and CBOs. Exact numbers are not required, estimations are fine. Based on survey responses, PCY may wish to contact the Director of Expanded Learning for an interview to address more detailed questions. 

Please use whatever data you have from 2023 or the 2022-23 school year.

The survey is divided into 2 parts. The hope is for you to complete at least Part 1 (14 questions), and, time permitting, Part 2 (6 questions) as well.

Thank you for your time and efforts to implement ELO-P and elevate its current impact! Please reach out to Jen Dietrich at the Partnership for Children & Youth (jdietrich@partnerforchildren.org) if you have any questions, or want to volunteer for a 1-hour interview to gather more examples and details.
