10.2.2. State 21st Century Community Learning Center Continuation Application
Rationale:
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CLCs) federally-funded grant program provides grants to eligible schools for the purpose of creating or expanding Community Learning Centers. The primary purpose of 21st Century funds is to provide students with academic enrichment opportunities designed to complement their regular academic program. All CLC services are provided during non-school hours or periods when school is not in session. The CLC programs and activities are designed to build on the capacity of community partners and neighborhood schools. Each site is to have an academic focus to assist participating students in meeting state and local academic achievement standards. Families of students served may also receive services in areas which support family literacy, health, other family support services, and childcare.
EXPLANATION: These two 21st Century CLC grant applications are continuation funding grants for Holmes and Pershing Elementary Schools and Lefler Middle School (Grant 12) and Clinton, Hartley, Elliott, Huntington, Riley, Saratoga and West Lincoln Elementary Schools, and Goodrich Middle School (Grant 13). The identified schools have specific needs which are in line with the goals of the 21st Century grant process and have successfully achieved stated outcomes in the continuation grant award. Community partners that have been identified to serve as the CLC lead agencies and to assist in the planning and service provision include: YMCA of Lincoln, Family Service, Cedars and Lincoln Parks and Recreation. These community partners will be essential to the successful delivery of quality after-school opportunities for students. The continuation grant will build on the success these sites have experienced over past years. Successes have included: 1) Consistently serving an average of 1,160 students attending thirty-plus days each year and over 2,610 total students attending after-school. 2) The CLC sites and partnering agencies are more intentional in their alignment of after-school programs with the school day program. 3) The State Site Observation tool, which evaluates program quality in eight domain areas, boasts an average score for these sites of 4.28 on a 5.0 scale. Core program activities will include homework / academic support, enrichment activities, recreation and leisure, character education and development, and service learning as well as activities to support nutrition and healthy lifestyles. It is projected that approximately 2,700 students will be impacted by the CLC programs at these 11 sites. The following program goals will guide the program design and delivery: Goal 1: Improve student learning performance in one or more core academic areas. Goal 2: Increase social benefits and improve behavior. Goal 3: Increase family and community involvement in schools. |

10.2.3. State 21st Century Community Learning Center New Grant Application
Rationale:
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CLCs) federally-funded grant program provides grants to eligible schools for the purpose of creating or expanding Community Learning Centers. The primary purpose of 21st Century funds is to provide students with academic enrichment opportunities designed to complement their regular academic program. All CLC services are provided during non-school hours or periods when school is not in session. The CLC programs and activities are designed to build on the capacity of community partners and neighborhood schools. Each site is to have an academic focus to assist participating students in meeting state and local academic achievement standards. Families of students served may also receive services in areas which support family literacy, health, other family support services, and childcare.
EXPLANATION: This 21st Century CLC grant application is a new funding grant for Randolph Elementary School, Lincoln High School, and Northeast High School. The identified schools have specific needs which are in line with the goals of the 21st Century grant process. Community partners serving as the CLC lead agencies and before and after- school providers assisting in planning and service provision are yet to be determined. A Request for Lead Agency Partners (RFP) and before and after-school providers will be conducted when the grant is approved by NDE in April/May 2019 timeframe. As a result of the RFP the selected community partners, along with others, will be essential to the successful delivery of quality after-school opportunities for students. The development of CLC activities at these schools will build on the success of Lincoln’s existing 26 CLC schools. This grant in partnership with local funders will bring necessary resources and support to establish Randolph, Lincoln High, and Northeast as CLC schools. CLC program activities will be developed and enhanced to include homework / academic support, STEM, enrichment activities, recreation and leisure, character education, and service learning. It is projected that approximately 210 students will be impacted by programs at these CLC schools. The following program goals will guide the program design and delivery: Goal 1: Improve student learning performance in one or more core academic areas. Goal 2: Increase social benefits and improve behavior. Goal 3: Increase family and community involvement in schools The total grant amount over a five-year period is projected to be $803,880. In years four and five, grant funds will step-down (year four to 80%, year five to 60% of initial grant funding). Community partnerships will contribute resources to meet the stepdown difference. Lincoln Public Schools general funds will not be utilized to support Randolph, Lincoln High, and Northeast CLCs. |
