Introduction
The Expanded Learning Program (ELOP) is designed to support before-school, after-school, and enrichment programs that extend learning beyond the traditional school day. This program provides schools with the tools needed to manage student participation, attendance, scheduling, and reporting for extended learning opportunities in one centralized location.
