Summary: Mt. Diablo Unified School District’s CARES (Collaborative for Academics, Recreation & Enrichment for Students) After School Program requests approval to apply for a five year competitive California Department of Education 21st Century High School After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) Program grant for two high schools (Mt. Diablo and Ygnacio Valley) in the district. Mt. Diablo CARES currently operates after school programs at 16 district schools serving over 2,100 K-12 students each day primarily funded by the California Department of Education’s (CDE) After School Education & Safety grant and Title I funds.

If awarded the grant, a total of 278 high school students would receive daily academic, enrichment, nutrition and college/career extended learning opportunities that help prepare them for graduation. Both high schools have previously been the recipients of ASSETs grants. Most recently, YVHS has offered a district funded after school program since 2014, and this fall MDHS began an after school program. The ASSETs grant would help to enhance and expand these programs considerably.

If awarded, the grant will provide $500,000 per year ($250,000 per school) for a total of $2,500,000 over five years. Funds will pay for staff, program activities and supplies.
Funding: Funding is provided by the California Department of Education 21st Century High School After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) Program grant.
Fiscal Impact The grant is for up to $500,000 annually and $2,500,000 for five years. A 10% Matching funds requirement will be met with Program codes 3070 (Title I), 0930 (LCFF).
Recommendation: Approve submission of the ASSETs grant application and acceptance, if awarded.
