Mass2020 Issues Annual Report on the Expanded Learning Time Initiative
Massachusetts 2020 has issued an annual report on the Massachusetts Expanded Learning Time (ELT) Initiative. Called Time for a New Day, this report provides information about the impact of ELT in its 2006-2007 year.
The ELT Initiative proposes to lengthen the school day by 25% or approximately 300 hours and provides grants to school districts who voluntarily are interested in re-designing their school day to provide students with both academic and experiential learning and increased professional development opportunities for teachers. Currently funded at $13M, Governor Patrick has proposed an increase of $13M for ELT in his FY09 budget which would provide a total of $26M for this effort.
