Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP)
Program Overview
The ELOP program is operated at all BUSD Elementary Schools and only 6th grade at all Middle Schools.
BUSD receives funding for the After School Expanded Learning Programs from the California Department of Education; Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P). BUSD partners with Right at School to coordinate and operate ELOP at the elementary schools. The middle schools operate their own ELOP programs.
The California Department of Education (CDE) has identified specific requirements for districts implementing Extended Learning Programs. These requirements and district priorities are:
When combined with the instructional day, the program must provide a 9 hour day for students.
The program must offer enrichment opportunities that engage students and that are based on student interests.
To qualify for ELOP, the student must be a part of our unduplicated count, which includes students in Transitional Kindergarten through grade 6 who are multilingual learners, foster youth, homelessness, or those who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
The program will be open to all students for a fee.
Some students will be eligible for free tuition based on income. If you believe your family may qualify, please complete the free and reduced lunch application located on the food services website starting July 1st 2024 for the 2024-25 school year and submit the form to our food services department.
The program must be offered at each school site.
Four Major Components
1. Academic Support: The academic component supports academic success by creating links to classroom learning by offering homework support, small group or individual tutoring, and mentoring.
2. Enrichment Opportunities: The enrichment component offers both traditional and non-traditional activities designed to build knowledge and enhance creative expression.
3. Recreational Activities: We encourage personal growth through competitive and non-competitive sports by building teamwork and a healthy competitive spirit, developing relationships, and having fun.
4. Community Building: The Expanded Learning programs foster a sense of community among students with a youth development model with a focus on serving the social-emotional needs of students.
