As a part of the equity in access study assessing the degree to which extended learning programs are serving Tennessee’s underserved youth, the Program Evaluation Unit has compiled the following two reports examining extended learning opportunities for students in historically marginalized populations. Using multiple data sources, it was found that extended learning programs in distressed counties are not only serving a larger proportion of students than in other counties, but the students in these counties are staying engaged in their program and reenrolling from year to year. Tennessee extended learning programs are also serving students of color at rates commensurate with population levels and are keeping most youth of color engaged and attending regularly, especially Black/African American high school students.
