During summer 2020, SDP offered a variety of online programs to support student learning. ORE evaluated four offerings: Summer Opportunity for Academic Review (SOAR), English Learner Summer Program for Newcomers (ELSP), Extended School Year (ESY), and Credit Recovery. Findings include:

• All four programs met their registration goals, but many students who registered did not participate. Of the students who participated in at least one day of instruction, about a third or fewer “fully participated” in their program.
• Based on survey results, students who participated demonstrated positive attitudes about the program, and their teachers believed that their participation will help them in the upcoming school year.
• Although overall program implementation was strong, each program experienced implementation challenges related to communication, registration, and technology.
