ESEA Flexibility Waiver- see the box below. Oklahoma checked this box in their waiver.
Optional Flexibility:
An SEA should check the box below only if it chooses to request a waiver of the following requirements:
The requirements in ESEA sections 4201(b)(1)(A) and 4204(b)(2)(A) that restrict the activities provided by a community learning center under the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program to activities provided only during non-school hours or periods when school is not in session (i.e., before and after school or during summer recess). The SEA requests this waiver so that 21st CCLC funds may be used to support expanded learning time during the school day in addition to activities during non-school hours or periods when school is not in session.For further information, see my report "Womb to Tomb."
