This law provides definitions for terms related to certain educational programs in California. 'Expanded learning' refers to programs that occur before or after school, during summer, or other break times, and aim to address students' academic and personal development through engaging activities. These programs should complement regular school activities without duplicating them. A 'summer/supplemental grant' is funding provided for these programs when they exceed the regular school year, during summer or other breaks.

This law sets up the After School Education and Safety Program for students in kindergarten through 9th grade at public schools. It can include before and/or after school components, which must have educational help like tutoring and fun enrichment activities like arts and sports. Any food provided must meet certain nutrition standards. Applicants to run these programs can be schools, cities, or organizations partnering with schools. They must coordinate with partners, keep financial records per requirements, and report attendance and progress. Programs have to review their plans every three years and adjust goals as needed, with oversight from the department.

This section outlines how the California Department of Education manages grants for before and after school programs. The department reviews applications to make sure they meet certain requirements, calculates grant amounts based on specific formulas, and awards grants in three-year cycles with semiannual reports. Grantees can change partnerships if certain conditions are met. Applicants are notified of their grant status by May 15 each year, and grants are distributed in portions with specific timelines and conditions. The department also provides information about the grants online and sets deadlines for application submissions. Additionally, program evaluation and review guidelines were to be established based on recommendations made by an advisory committee.

This law first states that when deciding which schools get funding for certain programs, priority will be given to those schools where at least half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price meals. It also mentions that any program created under this law must involve a planning process that includes input from a wide range of people, including parents, students, schools, local government agencies, community organizations, and businesses.

This section explains how grants are awarded for the After School Education and Safety Program in California, starting from July 1, 2004. Existing grants to public schools from the 2005-06 fiscal year will continue yearly at the same funding level, as long as schools re-apply and remain qualified. Schools previously funded can still apply for additional money within certain limits. Elementary or middle school programs existing in the 2006-07 fiscal year get funding priority for new grants. These grants for after-school programs are eligible for up to $112,500 for elementary schools and $150,000 for middle or junior high schools each year. If there's more money available after these grants are given out, additional funds are distributed based on other priorities. Generally, no school can receive more funding than specified, except specific cases. If there isn’t enough money for all applicants, other criteria are used to decide who gets funded first.

This law states that every student at a school with a specific program can join it, as long as there is space. These programs don't have to check families' income or need to determine eligibility, nor do they have to charge fees. However, if fees are charged, they cannot be applied to children known to be homeless or in foster care. These rules started being enforced on July 1, 2017.

This law allows schools to transfer after-school program services to a different school if there are significant issues stopping students from participating at their current school. For the transfer to be approved, the new school needs to meet certain criteria, like having a similar percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Funding limits must be respected, and schools must ensure safe transportation and good communication with parents and teachers. A significant barrier could be low student participation, severe transport issues, or changes like opening or merging schools. If an unforeseen event, like a natural disaster, makes it impossible to run the program, schools can adjust funds or request attendance credits.

This law is about after-school programs in California. It states that these programs must start right after school ends, run at least 15 hours a week, and typically stay open until 6 p.m. unless they are in very sparsely populated areas. Programs have to create a policy for letting students leave early if needed, and can request exceptions for unique community needs. The law encourages full participation from elementary and middle school students but allows middle school programs to be flexible. Programs can also run during vacations if they do so for at least three hours a day. Enrollment priority is given to homeless students, those in foster care, and students eligible for free meals. However, there’s no requirement for schools or programs to verify this status. Parents must be informed about these priority rights, and students can self-report their eligibility for priority enrollment.

This law outlines the requirements for before school programs. These programs must operate for at least 1.5 hours each school day and provide breakfast. Elementary students should attend the entire program daily, while middle and junior high students should attend at least six hours weekly. Programs should have flexible attendance for older students and can operate during summer or holidays for at least two hours daily. Enrollment priority is given to homeless and foster youth, but proof of this status is not required from the child or school. Parents must be informed of the priority enrollment rights for these children, and self-certification is allowed for identifying these students.

If a program runs both before and after school activities for the same kids during the summer, intersession, or vacation breaks, it must operate for at least four and a half hours each day.

This law requires the State Department of Education to inform schools that qualify for certain grants about the grants' availability and how they can apply for them.

This law outlines how the California Department of Education selects schools to participate in certain programs, with a focus on ensuring short and clear application processes. The selection criteria include factors like the percentage of students eligible for free meals and the socioeconomic status of the area. The participating programs must include educational and enrichment elements, a safe environment, staff development, integration with the school day, community support, opportunities for physical activity, and must provide snacks or meals. Programs must also demonstrate fiscal responsibility, secure matching funds, and meet evaluation requirements, using data on student behavior and skills to improve program quality. Schools with certain priority criteria may bypass some selection considerations.

This section requires that staff in school programs meet certain qualifications, similar to those for instructional aides, and mandates a maximum of 20 students per staff member. Program staff must also pass health screenings and fingerprint checks. If a school district hires an external organization to run a program, that organization must inform the district promptly about any health or safety concerns, including background check issues or incidents like a child's death or injury. Additionally, the organization must collect health information, such as allergies or asthma, from parents if they choose to provide it, but it is not mandatory for children's enrollment.

This section outlines California's funding strategy for a particular educational program. Initially, at least $85 million was to be allocated to this program, giving priority to current grant awardees, until June 30, 2004. Starting July 1, 2004, up to $550 million can be continuously allocated annually, either matching the previous year's funding or based on certain state budget calculations. The goal is to ensure the funding supplements, not replaces, existing educational services. Adjustments can be made if there's a decrease in financial support for school districts and community colleges. The use of funds is restricted to the specified program purposes.

This section clarifies that when funds are described as "continuously appropriated" for certain education purposes, it doesn't mean they can be spent without considering the fiscal year. Instead, these funds have a one-year window from when they first become available to be committed to specific uses, and this use is governed by another specific rule, Section 16304.1 of the Government Code.

This section outlines how the California Department of Education can use funds for after-school programs. They can spend up to 1.5% of the funds on evaluating programs, training, and offering technical help to improve program quality. For new or struggling programs, the department will give technical aid and support within 45 days of grant awards. They also need to create and share guidelines to enhance physical activities in schools. By October 1, 2011, they must report to the Governor and Legislature about the effectiveness of these programs, comparing students involved in the program to those who are not. A final report is due by December 1, 2011, updating any changes and detailing activities and academic performance impacts.

This law states that starting from the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2004, any increase in funding for a particular education program from one year to the next cannot be used until the state's basic funding obligations under Sections 8 and 8.5 of the California Constitution are met. This additional funding is separate and does not count towards those constitutional funding requirements.

This law outlines how schools in California can receive after-school program grants. Schools are eligible for three-year grants with funding provided annually, contingent on meeting attendance and performance requirements. If attendance drops below set levels, schools get technical support but may face grant reductions. Specific support is tailored for schools in sparsely populated areas. Schools can also voluntarily lower grant amounts if attendance targets aren't met. The maximum grant is $112,500 for elementary schools and $150,000 for middle schools. Schools must provide local contributions, and additional funds are available for transportation under certain conditions. The law also allows flexibility in fund allocation within a grantee's schools, promoting efficiency and ensuring all funds are effectively used.

This law explains how California schools can get funding for after-school programs if they already run before-school programs. Schools can receive grants over three-year cycles, which they need to renew and report on. Money granted depends on the number of students served, with limits based on whether it's an elementary or middle school. Large schools may qualify for more money using specific calculation methods. Schools can also obtain additional funds for summer or vacation programs and must contribute some local funds or resources in return. Additionally, part of the grant can support startup costs, but it won't increase the total amount given. The grants are distributed timely each year once accepted.

This law allows schools running certain programs to get extra funding to operate during the summer, weekends, or vacations. Schools can run either a three-hour or six-hour daily program. If they opt for the six-hour program, they must ensure safe transportation and provide one meal per day to students in need. The program can change locations if necessary and must notify the authorities about it. All students in the school district can participate, but priority is given to those at the grant-receiving school. Schools must submit a detailed plan about meals and attendance for approval before they start a six-hour program.

If a program gets more state money than needed because it serves fewer students than expected or doesn't raise enough matching funds, the State Department of Education will cut future funding by the overpaid amount. If the program stops participating, and there's an overpayment, the state will handle it differently based on the type of entity. For local education agencies, the state will send a bill for the extra funds, and if it's not paid within three months, they'll deduct the amount from future payments. For other entities, the state will bill them and may take legal action if they don't pay.

This law section outlines how organizations participating in specific education funding programs in California can use the funds. Participants can only spend a small portion on indirect costs, specifically whichever is lesser: the approved school district's indirect cost rate or 5% of the state funding. Additionally, no more than 15% of the funding can go towards administrative costs, including those indirect costs. The rule ensures that at least 85% of the funding is directed towards direct services for students, with possible inclusion of a program site supervisor's salary, provided they spend most of their time on site.

This law encourages after-school programs to not use their main funding for providing snacks or meals. Instead, they should aim to become approved sites for distributing snacks or meals funded by federal programs like the National School Lunch Program and others.

This section requires educational programs to provide annual data showing their effectiveness. They must report both student attendance in school and in the program itself. Programs must also engage in ongoing quality improvement based on criteria set by the department. If a program fails to show positive outcomes over three years, it could be shut down. To evaluate programs, the department will develop tools and consult with advisory committees to ensure fair assessment. These evaluations help decide if programs should continue receiving funding.

This law allows local educational agencies that receive certain funding to share specific types of student information with contracted after-school or summer programs. The data includes attendance, test and assessment scores, English proficiency measures, student engagement, behavior, and other academic metrics. However, this sharing must comply with privacy laws.

This section states that after-school programs developed under this article don't have to follow certain regulations in Chapter 19 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the California Code. Such programs, run by a city, county, or nonprofit, can operate up to 60 hours a week without needing a special license, as long as no child attends more than 30 hours weekly. However, these programs won't get extra funding for exceeding regular operational hours.

This section of California's Education Code concerns school-based before and after school programs that existed as of a specific date. Those programs had to choose by July 1, 1999, to either continue as a child care services program or switch to an After School Learning and Safe Neighborhoods Partnerships Program. Additionally, any funding originally meant for the older programs should be redirected to support these new options, with oversight from the State Department of Education and budget adjustments handled by the Department of Finance and Controller.

This law permits educational programs to be conducted not only on school grounds but also at community parks, recreational facilities, or other approved sites. These offsite programs must align with students' regular school education and ensure safe transportation for students. Programs conducted at these alternative sites must follow the same laws and regulations as those held on school property.

This law section states that if a school program is run at a location where very few people live, specifically with less than 11 people per square mile, the program might receive extra money to help with transportation costs.
