6.1.G. - Page 2 ANALYSIS For the past 17 years, the City has operated After School Programs in partnership with the School District. The City contributes staffing and operational resources annually via the PRCS operating budget in order to meet the grant matching requirements while also supporting Council's Strategic Initiative of Community for all Ages. Evaluations are conducted throughout the year to measure academic, social, behavioral, and overall wellness impact that the PRCS After School Programs have in partnership with the Redwood City School District. Some of the highlights include a ten year comparison of API scores at the school where we have our programs: • Fair Oaks School has increased its API score 326 points to a total of 745. • Henry Ford School has increased its API score 126 points to a total of 833. • Garfield School has increased its API score 220 points to a total of 694. • John Gill School has increased its API score 46 points to a total of 727. • Hawes School has increased its API score 158 points to a total of 734. • Hoover School has increased its API score 240 points to a total of 746. • Selby Lane School has increased its API score 131 points to a total of 712. In a recent communiqué from the District to its parents, the City of Redwood City was specifically pointed out as making a difference in API scores for "providing enrichment programs, youth mentoring, and other support services that make it easier for students to do well in school". PRCS continues to make a significant difference in the lives of children who specifically need tutoring support, academic enrichment, social and life skills learning, health and recreation opportunities. Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement reflects the increase in "base" funding for Hoover School only for additional extended day academic and enrichment services. The base increase for funding at Hoover School will go from $99,724 to $128,452. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to enter into the agreement. FISCAL IMPACT The City will receive an additional $28,728 funds for the additional "base" funding for Hoover School. This will change the total contract price from $737,386 to $766,114.
