  A. Expanded Learning Opportunity Grant Vote Kelly Simon 15 m
   
The Expanded Learning Opportunity Grant allocates funds to school districts to provide expanded learning opportunities for students as we are returning to classroom based instruction following the COVID pandemic.

To receive the grant, we must implement a learning recovery program, that at a minimum, provides supplemental instruction, support for social and emotional well-being, and, to the maximum extent permissible under the guidelines of the United States Department of Agriculture, meals and snacks to specified student groups, as defined in Education Code Section 43522, who have faced adverse learning and social-emotional circumstances.

ELO Grants shall be expended only for any of the following purposes: extending instructional learning time, accelerating progress to close learning gaps, integrated pupil supports, community learning hubs, supports for credit deficient pupils, additional academic services, and training for school staff.

Education Code Section 43522(e) requires the local governing board or body of an LEA to adopt the Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant Plan at a public meeting on or before June 1, 2021.

Approval of this plan is recommended.
