Status: 
 
 

Quick Summary / Abstract
Approve the continuation of the 21st Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Service Delivery Agreement between the SBBC and the CSC.

The SBBC and the CSC jointly applied for three additional years of 21st CCLC grant funding for Stranahan, Dillard, Hallandale, and Coconut Creek High Schools. The following number of students have been served by the program during the last three years:

Program Year; Coconut Creek; Dillard; Hallandale; Stranahan
05/06; 197; 162; 206; 239
06/07; 270; 411; 326; 740
07/08 – CSC Provision; 234; 654; 939; 614

FCAT achievement data and unexcused absences were the primary measures to evaluate program effectiveness. Students who participated in the 21st CCLC program showed gains in reading and math at all sites during the first two program years, and the number of unexcused absences for 21st CCLC participants was considerably lower than those of non-participants during the same time span at each site.  Student achievement and behavioral data for the 07/08 program year will be analyzed in August of 2008.

The grant award for all four schools in the amount of $1,749,600 ($583,200 per year, for three years) will provide academic remediation services to over 1,340 at-risk students per year.  In addition, the CSC contributed $230,000 in the 07/08 program year, and will contribute up to $168,000 in the 08/09 program year to expand after school services.

This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the School Board Attorney.

The positive financial impact to the District is $1,749,600 over three years.  The source of funds is the 21st CCLC grant. There is an additional positive financial impact of at least $168,000 in the 08/09 program year from the CSC.  There is no additional financial impact to the district.

Approve the continuation of the 21st Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Service Delivery Agreement between the SBBC and the CSC.
