Certify ELO‑P Third-Party Off-Site Provider Data

A provider-location and pupil-access inventory for every third party operating the 2026–27 program at an off-site location.

  • ELO‑P
  • Third-Party Provider
  • Certification
Date(s)July 1–September 30, 2027
Applies toLEAs receiving a 2026–27 ELO‑P apportionment and using any third-party provider at an off-site location

In Plain Language: Inventory all covered providers and off-site locations, validate grade/pupil access information against contracts and operations, certify through the state system by September 30, and preserve support.

Why this matters

The report informs legislative oversight of off-site-provider licensing and permit exemptions. Missing a provider or reporting contract capacity instead of actual pupil access weakens the evidence.

Primary ownership

Primary owner: expanded-learning lead. Partners: procurement/contracts, providers, sites, enrollment/attendance data, fiscal, risk management, and authorized certifier.

From provider contracts to a certified off-site inventory: the SDLA ITO workflow

The certification depends on knowing exactly which third parties operate at which off-site locations. This SDLA ITO (Input, Transformation, Output) graphic shows how the provider contracts, location data, and rosters and invoices become the location inventory, the access support, and the certification and confirmation.

SDLA ITO: eleven steps from the provider contracts, location data, and rosters and invoices, through the inventory, the off-site definition test, access reconciliation, and review, to the location inventory, the access support, and the certification and confirmation.
Read down each column, then move to the next: Input identifies what to collect; Transformation covers the inventory, the off-site definition test, access reconciliation, and review; Output covers the location inventory, the access support, and the certification and confirmation. Certify by September 30 through the state system.

Operational workflow

  1. Build a contract-to-provider-to-location inventory for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027.
  2. Confirm which locations meet the current off-site third-party definition.
  3. Reconcile each location and pupil/grade access data to rosters, attendance, invoices, and provider confirmation.
  4. Enter and independently review the state certification.
  5. Submit by September 30; retain confirmation and resolve corrections before closure.
