TXPOST is excited to release its first report on the state of expanded learning opportunities in Texas. This report includes sections on summer learning, STEM and workforce development, state policy supporting afterschool and summer learning, and an overview of 21st Century Community Learning Centers (ACE). It also provides a comprehensive overview of afterschool and summer programming in our state. Please share this report with your schools, parents and partners.

Launched in October 2000, Lights On Afterschool is the only nationwide event celebrating afterschool programs and their important role in the lives of children, families and communities. The effort has become a hallmark of the afterschool movement and generates media coverage across the country each year.
