FAQs

The California State Legislature has allocated ongoing funding designated for expanded learning through the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) to serve transitional kindergarten through sixth-grade students who are homeless/foster youth, qualify for free/reduced lunch, or are English language learners. This law requires all local education agencies (LEAs) in California to offer a minimum of nine hours of instructional time for the school day.

SCUSD must first offer seats to students from Priority 1 and Priority 2, in that order, followed by our locally determined Priorities 3 and 4, in that order.

• Priority 1: Foster youth, homeless, low-income

• Priority 2: English learners

• Priority 3: Students enrolled in the previous year's fee-based programs

• Priority 4: All other students interested in a fee-based program

Once all students who meet the ELO-P criteria are given an opportunity to register, any remaining spots will be offered to families based on the priority list.

SCUSD will maintain all applications on a waitlist by priorities and will continue to offer spaces as they become available.
