District approves new providers for its expanded-learning program

What happened

The board approved contracts with AlphaBEST Education and the YMCA of the East Bay to provide the district’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP). Families had raised concerns about continuity, enrichment activities and the transition from former provider PlayCV; the minutes do not specify a transition date or detailed service changes.

Why it matters to families

Families whose children use ELOP may experience a provider transition that affects the program’s delivery and continuity. The board has approved the new providers, but the meeting record does not spell out the transition timeline or detailed program arrangements.

The evidence

On Sept. 23, 2026, the board approved master contracts with AlphaBEST Education and the YMCA of the East Bay as ELOP providers. Public comments raised concerns about PlayCV, continuity of services, theater and enrichment, local staffing and the timing of a potential transition.
