7.1.A. - Page 2 <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> For the past 17 years of operating After School Programs in partnership with the School <br /> District, the City contributes staffing and operational resources annually via the PRCS <br /> operating budget to meet the grant matching requirements while also supporting <br /> Council's Strategic Initiative of Community for All Ages. <br /> Evaluations are conducted throughout the year to measure academic, social, <br /> behavioral, and overall wellness impact that the PRCS After School Programs have in <br /> partnership with the Redwood City School District. Some of the highlights include a ten <br /> year comparison of API scores at the school where we have our programs: <br /> • Fair Oaks School has increased its API score 326 points to a total of 745. <br /> • Henry Ford School has increased its API score 126 points to a total of 833. <br /> • Garfield School has increased its API score 220 points to a total of 694. <br /> • John Gill School has increased its API score 46 points to a total of 727. <br /> • Hawes School has increased its API score 158 points to a total of 734. <br /> • Hoover School has increased its API score 240 points to a total of 746. <br /> • Selby Lane School has increased its API score 131 points to a total of 712. <br /> In a recent communiqué from the District to its parents, the City of Redwood City was <br /> specifically pointed out as making a difference in API scores for "providing enrichment <br /> programs, youth mentoring, and other support services that make it easier for students <br /> to do well in school". PRCS continues to make a significant difference in the lives of <br /> children who specifically need tutoring support, academic enrichment, social and life <br /> skills learning, health and recreation opportunities. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> Council may choose not to enter into the agreement. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The anticipated grant revenue total of $858,937, plus the estimated $150,000 in <br /> participant fees, and the associated expenses of $1 ,469,196 are included in the <br /> adopted FY 14-15 Budget for the Parks, Recreation and Community Services <br /> Department. <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
