Summary: The After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program is the result of the 2002 voter-approved initiative, Proposition 49. These programs are created through partnerships between schools and local community resources to provide literacy, academic enrichment and safe, constructive alternatives for students in kindergarten through ninth grade. Funding is designed to: (1) maintain existing before and after school program funding; and (2) provide eligibility to all elementary and middle schools that submit quality applications throughout California. The application is for new grantees as well as existing grant recipients who wish to increase funding. MDUSD requests approval to apply for additional ASES funding for current CARES sites Holbrook Language Academy in the amount of $203,482.84 and Westwood Elementary School in the amount of $152,612.13. These sites are currently funded by ELOP. If awarded, ASES funding would supplement ELOP funding at these sites. Holbrook and Westwood were chosen based on the percentage of free and reduced priced meals (FRPM) as reported in CALPADS in 23-24. They are the next two highest percentage FRPM schools not currently funded with ASES.
Funding: Up to $356,094.97 in new ASES (After School Education and Safety program) funding, if awarded
Fiscal Impact Up to $356,094.97 in new ASES (After School Education and Safety program) funding, if awarded
