Why are we here?
3 Main Goals• Understanding• Opportunity• Inspiration

How big is OST?
ASES$550 million
annually• Proposition 49• All public schools are
eligible, including charter schools
• Priority for schools with predominantly low income students
21st CCLC$130 million
annually• Federal initiative but
administered by state• Includes academic
enrichment & youth development
• Focused on high poverty, low performing schools
Currently, we have over 4,200 publicly funded expanded learning program sites serving over 400,000 students, more than all other states combined.

Sample Results from Summer Science
• Staff results“I know the necessary steps to teach science concepts effectively”8% pre to 83% post
• Student resultsThe summer science program made science more fun: 92%
