What is the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP)?
The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) will begin for IUSD 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 PK-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 IUSD?
Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, IUSD will provide in-person after school expanded learning opportunities at each of our 29 elementary and PK-8 schools. All PK-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. In addition you can visit www.iusd.org/elop for additional information.
How will it be implemented?
On IUSD’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 IUSD facilities.
