This Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant Plan by Eastern Sierra Unified School District outlines a learning recovery program to provide supplemental instruction and support to identified student groups, including low-income students, English learners, foster youth, and students below grade level. The plan focuses on seven key strategies: extending instructional time, accelerating progress to close learning gaps, integrated student supports, community learning hubs, supports for credit-deficient students, additional academic services, and staff training. Implementation involves intervention teachers, paraprofessional support, and summer programs, with coordination of funds from ESSER II for additional support personnel.
