Open Agenda
Approve the Continuation Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and After School Programs, Inc. The contract period is August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014.
The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC) and After School Programs, Inc. (ASP) are in the fifth year of their five-year partnership to operate a 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) Program at Watkins Elementary School. The agreement details the number of students served at the site and the days/operating hours of the program during the school year.
During the 2013-2014 school year students at Watkins Elementary School will be provided afterschool enrichment and remediation learning activities that will compliment and enhance the school day with reading, language arts, mathematics and science curriculum. Engaging, non-traditional, project-based learning activities for personal enrichment will be implemented in the areas of: arts & music, health & wellness, fitness & sports, tutoring and mentoring.
A portion of the 21st CCLC funds will be used to hire an outside evaluator to conduct an ongoing formative evaluation. This data will be used by the school and ASP to ensure the program's compliance with its objectives.
The agreement is being brought before the Board at this time, as the SBBC was only notified by the FLDOE of its official award of the grant on October 15, 2013. This is the first Board Meeting for which we could bring this agreement forward. ASP has agreed to continue providing services to our students.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
The financial impact to the District is $105,605. The source of funds is the 21st CCLC Grant.
