Summary:
|
Mt. Diablo Unified School District’s CARES (Collaborative for Academics, Recreation & Enrichment for Students) After School Program requests approval to apply for a five year competitive U. S. Department of Education’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant for nine K-12 schools in the district. Mt. Diablo CARES currently operates after school programs at 16 district schools (six of which are included in this application) serving 2,700 students each day which are primarily funded by the California Department of Education’s (CDE) After School Education & Safety grant.
The CARES After School Program provides daily academic, enrichment, recreation and nutrition activities from the end of the regular school day until 6:00 p.m. during the school year and during the summer. The district has an opportunity to apply for three new schools (Silverwood and Westwood Elementary and Concord High), to renew the Mt. Diablo High School’s after school program and to increase enrollment at five existing CARES schools (Delta View, El Monte, Sun Terrace, Wren Avenue, El Dorado) to ensure more students have access to high quality after school programming.
If awarded, the grant will serve 520 elementary and middle school students and 280 high school students and will provide $1,266,600 per year ($39,150 for Meadow Homes, $682,450 for the other elementary and middle schools listed above, $250,000 for Concord High and $295,000 for Mt. Diablo High schools) for a total of $6,372,150 over five years.
