The 2025–26 budget continues to position ELO-P as a critical strategy to support California’s most vulnerable students. The goal is to use ELO-P to drive academic growth, with ongoing investments in academic acceleration, attendance, SEL, and equity. Districts are being asked to do more—with greater alignment across funding sources.
Here’s how the most strategic districts are using ELO-P to drive impact—and how Kodely helps them deliver results across the board.
1. Accelerate Academics with Hands-On, Standards-Aligned Learning
Why it matters: The May Revise emphasizes measurable academic progress in STEM, literacy, and math. Enrichment should reinforce—not replace—core learning.
Kodely delivers:
Project-based lessons aligned to NGSS and ELA standards, including robotics, digital storytelling, and problem-solving math games. No worksheets—just real learning that sticks.
2. Boost Attendance and ADA Through Intersession Innovation
Why it matters: Intersession is one of the few opportunities to both generate ADA and close learning gaps—but only if students show up.
Kodely delivers:
High-interest intersession camps with robotics, engineering challenges, and creativity-based workshops. Our full-day programs make attendance soar—while boosting engagement and academic growth.
3. Support Unduplicated Student Groups with Culturally Responsive Enrichment
Why it matters: ELO-P is designed for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth. Programs must reflect student identities and learning styles.
Kodely delivers:
Programs that center language-rich instruction, SEL, and design-thinking to support identity, belonging, and student leadership. Our facilitators reflect the communities we serve.
4. Advance LCAP Goals in SEL, School Climate, and Engagement
Why it matters: Districts must show progress on LCAP priorities—including school climate, student connectedness, and social-emotional learning.
Kodely delivers:
Every program we run includes embedded SEL—team-based projects, emotional check-ins, and leadership roles. We turn enrichment into real relationship-building and joy.
5. Relieve Pressure on School Staff with Turnkey Delivery
Why it matters: Site leaders are overwhelmed. Without the right support, even the best-funded programs underperform.
Kodely delivers:
Staffing, materials, PD, compliance tracking, family engagement, and reporting—done. We handle the heavy lifting so your team can focus on what matters most.
6. Braid ELO-P with Other Funds for Maximum Impact
Why it matters: The May Revise encourages strategic use of LCFF, block grants, and federal relief funds alongside ELO-P to deepen districtwide support.
Kodely delivers:
We partner with districts to braid ELO-P with discretionary grants, LCFF S/C funds, and Title funds. This strategic alignment helps use ELO-P to drive academic growth, ensuring program design supports equity, LCAP outcomes, and measurable results.
