The purpose of this program is to create or expand Community Learning Centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities outside of the regular school hours primarily for children who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools, as well as literacy and other educational services to their families. Priority will also be given to programs that serve middle level and/or high school students.
Collaborative development of proposals submitted by local education agencies and other eligible agencies and organizations with experience or promise of success in providing before- or after-school services is required. To further emphasize the importance of collaborative development, the major partners must submit a signed Memorandum of Understanding or a signed Partnership Agreement. In addition, a Private School Consultation Form must be completed.
