This A-G Completion Improvement Grant Plan for Opportunities for Learning - Duarte details the allocation and utilization of funds to enhance A-G eligibility among California high school students, with a particular focus on unduplicated pupils. Key strategies include providing professional development for staff, developing comprehensive advising and tutoring programs, expanding access to A-G coursework through curriculum adoption and course development, and mitigating learning loss by offering opportunities for students to retake courses. The plan also aims to expand college readiness programs to younger grades and foster partnerships with post-secondary institutions to improve the A-G completion rate and ensure equitable access for all students, including foster youth, low-income students, and English learners.

The document outlines the allocation of grant funds and planned programs and services for Opportunities for Learning - Duarte from June 2021 to June 2026. The strategic direction focuses on professional development for staff, enhancing language acquisition programs for English learners, and improving literacy and STEM instruction. This is achieved through participation in key educational conferences and fostering teacher self-awareness, relationships, and instructional practices.
