Title: Expanded Learning Opportunities Program: minimum allocation and stakeholder working group.
Author: Albert Y. Muratsuchi

Summary
AB 2112, as amended, Muratsuchi. Expanded Learning Opportunities Program: minimum allocation and stakeholder working group. Existing law establishes the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program. Existing law authorizes a local educational agency that elects to operate an expanded learning opportunity program to operate a before school component of a program, an after school component of a program, or both, as specified. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to allocate a specified amount of the funding appropriated for purposes of the program to local educational agencies with an enrollment in the prior fiscal year that was at least 75% English learners, pupils who are eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, and foster youth. Existing law requires the Superintendent to allocate the remainder of the funding appropriated for purposes of the program to all other local educational agencies on a per-unit basis of the local educational agency’s prior year reported kindergarten and grades 1 to 6, inclusive, classroom-based average daily attendance attributable to pupils who are either English learners, eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, or foster youth.This bill would provide that the per-pupil amount of funding allocated to local educational agencies that did not have an enrollment in the prior fiscal year that was at least 75% English learners, pupils who are eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, and foster youth shall not be less than the amount allocated to that local educational agency in the 2022–23 fiscal year.This bill would require, on or before February 1, 2025, the Superintendent to convene an Expanded Learning Opportunities Program stakeholder working group, or leverage an existing expanded learning workgroup in the State Department of Education, to provide recommendations on the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program to the relevant fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature no later than November 1, 2025, as provided. The bill would require the working group or workgroup to include, but not be limited to, department staff, expanded learning providers, local educational agency representatives, parents, pupils, and community partners. The bill would repeal these requirements related to the working group or workgroup on January 1, 2026.
