FROM: Dan Barreiro, Chief Community Services Officer
DATE: September 19, 2017
SUBJECT:
Resolution to extend the agreement with Communities in Schools of Aurora (CIS) to serve as Third Party Administrator (TPA) for Youth Development Programs for the 2017-2018 School Year in the Amount Not to Exceed $90,000
PURPOSE:
Support of a Resolution to approve the extension of a contract with Communities in Schools of Aurora to serve as a TPA for Youth Development Programs for the 2017-2018 School Year.
BACKGROUND:
This agreement follows the one approved in March 2017 for summer programming. The previous agreement was for $300,000 and ended in August. Last month, Adrienne and I met with various program partners to learn more about the value added they provide to summer school programs. These partner agencies provide mentoring and structured programs based on what the various schools request. The goal is to spread programming across all of the middle schools to reach as many students as possible.
DISCUSSION:
The contract extension is necessary to continue to provide afterschool programming. The programming will be provided for the MyTime Afterschool programs run by CIS and the School Districts. :
The afterschool and summer youth programming is budgeted in account 101-1370-440.32-20.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The afterschool programming will be less enriching for students participating in afterschool programs in middle schools across the city. The extra programming helps keep students interested and returning.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
To place the attached resolution on the next Finance Committee meeting for consideration and approval."
