Overview
This bill expands the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program to prioritize access for unduplicated pupils – students who are English learners, eligible for free or reduced-price meals, or foster youth. Local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to offer these programs and, starting in 2023-24, to specifically prioritize enrollment for these students through outreach and assistance. The bill also increases funding for LEAs, particularly those with high percentages of unduplicated pupils, and outlines specific program requirements, including extended learning opportunities and considerations for frontier locations. It includes provisions to address potential challenges related to third-party providers and data collection.
