The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program Plan for San Jacinto Unified School District is designed to provide a safe, structured, and engaging environment that extends learning beyond the traditional school day for transitional kindergarten through eighth-grade students. Guided by the vision 'One Team. One Program. One Community.', its core goals include supporting student academic achievement, strengthening student safety and social-emotional health, fostering English Learner language development, increasing developmental assets and positive youth behaviors, and improving regular school-day attendance. The plan emphasizes hands-on, engaging learning experiences and collaborative partnerships to ensure equitable access to comprehensive expanded learning opportunities that complement the instructional day.

This document outlines the San Jacinto Leadership Academy's School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for the 2022-2023 academic year. Its primary purpose is to improve academic achievement for all students, with a particular focus on English Learners and Students with Disabilities, and to address identified declines in Math test scores and high rates of chronic absenteeism. The plan is structured around three key goals: decreasing the overall distance from standard in ELA and Math for English Learners and Students with Disabilities by at least 15 points; reducing the chronic absenteeism rate from 20.1% to below 10.1%; and increasing the English Learner reclassification rate from 50% to 75%. The plan details strategies, actions, and services, including professional development, curriculum implementation, and parent workshops, to achieve these outcomes and prepare students for post-secondary opportunities.
