RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the application to
apply for rectification grant funds to operate the Lodi LOOK After School Program
at Lawrence and Heritage Elementary Schools under the Before and After School
Learning and Safe Neighborhoods Partnership Program through the California
Department of Education
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Parks and Recreation Department has operated after school programs
at Lawrence and Heritage schools for the past three years, funded through
the California Department of Education Before and After School Learning
and Safe Neighborhoods Partnership Program. This program requires the
collaborative efforts of the community to provide free after school care to those attending Lawrence and Heritage
schools. The department works with a variety of community partners to ensure the success of the program.
The grant will provide for 100 (60 at Heritage School and 40 at Lawrence School) children to attend the three-hour a
day program. Children receive additional instructional time as well as homework assistance. The educational
enhancement portion of the program includes arts and craft and recreational activities.
Current funding of the program ends June 30, 2002. The recertification application will provide funding for an
additional three years, ending June 30, 2005. This is a matching grant that requires a collaboration of community
services and programs. The department has obtained the matching requirement through various memorandums of
understanding (MOU) for program services currently in place from the community such as Parks and Recreation,
Library, Police Department, Public Works, Arts Commission, General Mills, Lodi Unified School District, Department
of Agriculture Child Care Food Program, Lodi Kiwanis Club, Eastside Improvement Committee, California Human
Development Corp, and Community Partnerships for Families.
FUNDING: The City will receive $5.00 per child per day of attendance, up to $122,000 per year from the
California Department of Education. The department has secured a value of $127,158 from in-kind
matches through MOU's with the organizations listed above.
