6.1C Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Ci Mana er July 26,2010 SUBJECT Agreement for support of Redwood City Community Schools Program ReCOMMENDATION By motion, authorize the City Manager to execute the second amendment to the agreement between the City of Redwood City, County of San Mateo, and the Redwood City School District for support of the Redwood City Community Schools for Fiscal Year 2010/2011. BACKGROUND Several years ago, the City of Redwood City (City) in partnership with the Redwood City School District (District) and the County of San Mateo (County) agreed to assist the Community Schools Program with sustainability of this program at Fair Oaks, Hoover, Kennedy and Taft Schools. The Community Schools were established to actively involve Redwood City residents, educators and human services providers in supporting neighborhood children to become successful learners. The Community Schools provide integrated support for children and families, including health services, family support services, parent-community partnerships, adult education, and after-school programs. This program is overseen by the Redwood City School District and supported by Redwood City 2020. The Community Schools reach students and their families in a way that few programs are able to do because they are strategically linked to the school communities they serve. The City, County, and District are funding the core operations of the Community Schools with $100,000 from the City, $113,676 from the County, and $90,000 from the District for fiscal year 2010/2011. Additional funds include: $150,000 from the Grove Foundation; $10,000 from the Atkinson Foundation; $180,000 from the California Department of Education; $10,000 from the United Way of the Bay Area; and additional funding by the After School Education and Safety (ASES) and 21 st Century Grant. The agreement between the City, the County and the District is interdependent; if any one of the partners does not enter into the agreement and does not contribute, then the remaining parties may withdraw their contributions. All partners have agreed to continue their contributions for the upcoming year. The initial agreement provides funding for Fiscal Year 2008/2009. Council approved the first amendment to this agreement on 08/10/09\ extending the term of the agreement for funding in Fiscal Year 2009/2010. At this time, staff is requesting that Council approve the second . amendment to the agreement allowing the services to continue for fiscal Year 2010/2011.
