Agenda Item Brief: The City of Sparks Parks and Recreation Department provides enrichment activities, program ideas and resources for planning programs specific to site needs. Programming occurs from school release until 6:00 p.m. on all school days. The grant reimburses the City for the part-time salaries dedicated at these sites per the attached agreements.
Background: During the 2003/04 school year, we began our partnership with Agnes Risley Elementary School who was a recipient of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant. We provided and continue to provide enrichment activities during the school’s after school, on all school days. Enrichment activities vary from art, dance to sports and self esteem builders as well as homework support time. During the 2007/08 school year, Lincoln Park, Alice Maxwell, Robert Mitchell and Kate Smith Elementary Schools were accepted into the grant program. Currently, the grant is in operation at Alice Maxwell, Lincoln Park, Kate Smith and Agnes Risley schools. It will continue to reimburse the city for the part-time salaries provided by the Parks and Recreation Department at all four school sites. The current schedule of service for Agnes Risley is February 11, 2013 through May 17, 2013 and service for Alice Maxwell is April 29, 2013 through May 17, 2013.
Analysis: This collaboration continues to be a win-win for all parties involved. Participation increase as services are made affordable at these at-risk school sites. Staff does not anticipate any other schools in Sparks to join the program due to the eligibility requirements. The two individual agreements total $7,369.00 (Seven Thousand Three Hundred Sixty Nine Dollars) to complete FY12/13. Finance staff submits personnel costs to the county for reimbursement to the city.
Alternatives: Council may choose to redirect staff and not to accept this grant to continue after school services to Alice Maxell and Agnes Risley Elementary Schools to complete FY12/13.
Recommended Motion: I move to accept and approve the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant as entered into and secured through collaborative efforts with Alice Maxell and Agnes Risley Elementary Schools to complete FY12/13.
