Abstract: California has invested an impressive $13.75 billion in the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) over the last few years (2021-2025). Expanded learning programs focus on enriching learning opportunities that fall outside of the regular school day. ELO-P provides funding for before school, after school, summer, and intersession learning programs. This brief is the first in a series that will take a close look at the ELO-P in Los Angeles County. The goal is to better understand how ELO-P funds are being distributed and spent with the aim of supporting policymakers in ensuring equity and efficacy in the distribution and use of current and future funding and high quality program offerings for kids that meets the needs of families. This brief is divided into two parts. First, it gives a general overview of the ELO-P, describing the program's purpose, which schools are eligible to participate, how much funding they receive, and how the program overlaps with other initiatives in California. The second part of the brief focuses on Los Angeles County, detailing how funding was allocated among its districts and charter schools.
