Expanded Learning Opportunity Program

Menlo Park City School District is committed to providing high-quality programs that are learner-centered and meaningful for students. Through the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program Funding, the district will be able to offer a variety of opportunities to support the whole child. Please see below for program descriptions.

Funds will be used as described below (actual allocation to programs will be determined by student enrollment):

  • TK-6 Grade Summer, Intersession, and After School Care with Newton 

    • Newton will provide an age-appropriate and structured daily program that will include academic support, social-emotional, and individualized activities that will keep students engaged, foster friendships, and align with the whole child framework. Each week students will have access to a variety of enrichment classes. Examples of enrichment classes include art, mindfulness, cooking, coding, robotics, math games, basketball, and chess.

  • Hillview Before & Afterschool Academic Homework Center Support

    • Supervised by a Hillview staff member, the center is a quiet environment where students have access to textbooks, materials, and a place to receive support on starting or finishing homework. 

  • Summer Programming

    • MPCSD’s summer school academic programs are designed to accelerate learning for our most academically at-risk students. include the following: Math Bridge (6-8), Math Elevate (3-6), and our general education program (K-8) and Kick Off to Kindergarten.

As the state continues to identify ways to support local California school districts in their recovery efforts from the pandemic, they have increased Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELO-P) funds. Menlo Park City School District has confirmation that ELO-P funds have been increased and will be ongoing.  As a result, Menlo Park City School District’s current allocation of ELOP funds will be $550,000.  In addition, carried over from last school year, we will also have the initial amount of $191,000 to use as a start up amount which will need to be expended by June 2023.   For 2022-2023, MPCSD’s ELO-P funds total $741,000. Menlo Park City School District will be required to provide program access to 50% of enrolled TK/K-6 classroom-based unduplicated pupils (UPP).  

With this increase in funding for ELO-P, Assistant Superintendent Jammie Behrendt brought a revised ELO-P plan for the board to approve at the November 17th board meeting.
