The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) has published a newsletter focusing on Community Schools research and resources. The Extended Learning Opportunities Network newsletter (ELON) is a monthly publication from CCSSO that provides timely information, research, and resources to support CCSSO members in expanding and sustaining high quality Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs) to students in need of them. ELOs are initiatives that provide safe, structured environments for students outside the regular school day. ELOs include before- and after-school programs; Saturday, weekend, and summer programs; extended day/year initiatives, distance learning, and early education initiatives.
