Aransas Pass ISD is applying for the Texas 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant, Cycle 8 for 2013-2014 School Year.
The purpose of the Texas 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant Program is to provide opportunities beyond the regular school day for communities to establish or expand activities in community learning centers that (1) provide opportunities for academic enrichment, including tutorial services to help children meet state and local student academic achievement standards in core academic subjects such as reading and mathematics; (2) offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities such as youth development activities; drug and violence prevention programs; counseling programs; art, music, and recreation programs; and technology education programs, all of which are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students; and (3) offer families of students served by community learning centers opportunities for literacy and related educational development. Program activities will be offered before and after school as well as during the summer.
The primary goal of the Texas 21st CCLC after school program are to: reduce the dropout rate; improve academic performance; improve attendance; improve behavior; improve promotion rates; and improve graduation rates. |
