ANALYSIS <br />In order to support the Strategic Initiative of a Community for all Ages, the City has <br />funded staff and operational resources to provide After School Programs in partnership <br />with the School District for 19 years. <br /> <br />Evaluations are conducted throughout the year to measure the Programs’ academic, <br />social, behavioral, and wellness impact. Over the last 10 years, schools with City- <br />supported After School Programs have experienced significant increases in the <br />Academic Performance Index (API) scores: <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 />· 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 />· 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 students’ parents, the District stated that the <br />City of Redwood City helped to improve API scores by “providing enrichment programs, <br />youth mentoring, and other support services that make it easier for students to do well <br />in school. This past year parents and students were surveyed and the top three highest- <br />rated categories were Community Building (94%), Skill Building (93%), and Relationship <br />with Adults (90%). <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose not to enter into the agreement. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The City anticipates receiving grant revenue of $811,145 and an estimated $250,000 in <br />participant fees for a total of $1,061,145 revenue. Program expenses in the FY 2017-18 <br />Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department are $1,671,793. In the last five <br />years, the State reimbursement rate has remained steady, while program expense <br />costs have increased. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section <br />15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably <br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7.1.C. - Page 2
