This is the conclusion of a National Governors Association report, The Quality Imperative: A State Guide to Achieving the Promise of Extended Learning Opportunities. The report outlines seven strategies states can pursue to improve the quality of extended learning opportunities (ELO)...

  1. Create an ELO quality team of key stakeholders to envision, develop, and administer an ELO quality system.

  2. Identify federal and state funding sources to support the state ELO quality system.
