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 Youth. <br /> <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 School District. Some of the highlights include a ten year <br />comparison of API scores at the school where we have our programs: <br /> <br />· Fair Oaks School has increased its API score 326 points to a total of 745. <br /> <br />· Henry Ford School has increased its API score 126 points to a total of 833. <br /> <br />· Garfield School has increased its API score 220 points to a total of 694. <br /> <br />· John Gill School has increased its API score 46 points to a total of 727. <br /> <br />· Hawes School has increased its API score 158 points to a total of 734. <br /> <br />· Hoover School has increased its API score 240 points to a total of 746. <br /> <br />· Selby Lane School has increased its API score 131 points to a total of 712. <br /> <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 /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose not to enter into the agreement. <br /> <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />A requirement of the agreement between the City and the School District includes <br />matching funds from the City as has been the case since the partnership began in 1998. <br />The anticipated grant revenue total to City of $858,937, plus the estimated $150,000 in <br />participant fees equals $1,008,937, used to offset the City’s associated expenses of <br />$1,503,870 as approved by the City in the adopted FY 15-16 budget for the Parks, <br />Recreation and Community Services Department. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6.1.D. - Page 2
