of October 2009 as Extended Opportunity Programs and
Services Month to honor the mission and purposes of the
Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) through
the celebration and coordination of activities that advance
educational equity principles.
Assembly Amendments make clarifying changes and add more
co-authors.
Senate Floor Amendments of 7/1/09 delete the specification
of how the EOPS mission should be honored (i.e., deletes
the phrase in italics) thereby potentially broadening how
EOPS should be honored during October 2009.
ANALYSIS : Extended Opportunity Programs and Services
(EOPS) is a program that provides resources, services and
academic support to Community College students whose
educational and socioeconomic background may prevent them
from successfully attending college. EOPS services
include: career, personal and academic counseling;
priority registration; tutoring; book assistance; transfer
assistance; student recognition ceremonies; and
collaborative college tours. To qualify, students must be
California residents, enroll in a minimum of 12 units, have
completed a total of not less than 40 units, be financially
needy (eligible for a Board of Governors fee waiver), and
be educationally disadvantaged.
This concurrent resolution designates the month of October
2009 as Extended Opportunity Programs and Services Month to
honor the mission and purposes of the EOPS programs and
includes a variety of findings and declarations related to
EOPS.
Comments
EOPS was started in 1969 and, accordingly, is celebrating
its 40th anniversary. It has served over 2.5 million
students at 100 California Community Colleges campuses.
