This document serves as a guide for Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to develop Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) plans, as required by California Education Code Section 46120(b)(2). The guide outlines program activities that support the whole child, focusing on students' Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and development through hands-on, engaging learning experiences. It details expectations across ten key Quality Standards: Safe and Supportive Environment, Active and Engaged Learning, Skill Building, Youth Voice and Leadership, Healthy Choices and Behaviors, Diversity, Access, and Equity, Quality Staff, Clear Vision, Mission, and Purpose, Collaborative Partnerships, and Continuous Quality Improvement. The plan is intended to be pupil-centered, results-driven, and complement regular school day activities.

The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) for the Soledad Unified School District outlines a comprehensive strategy to empower all students for academic and life success.

The intended outcomes include increased graduation rates, improved academic metrics, reduced disciplinary incidents, and the development of resilient, lifelong learners prepared for a culturally diverse global society.
