The Delaware Department of Education has awarded five new grants for afterschool and summer programs under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act.
The 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) program grants are designed to provide students with enrichment activities to improve the academic success of students from Title I schools. Schools are designated as Title I based on high percentage of students who come from low-income families. The money comes from federal funds.
“These programs are possible because of collaboration between our schools and community partners,” Secretary of Education Susan Bunting said. “They are great examples of how we all can work together to provide fun, engaging and enriching learning activities for students outside of the regular school day.”
The 21st CCLC programs must serve students who attend schools that are eligible as Title I schoolwide programs. Subgrantees must offer opportunities for families to actively and meaningfully engage in their children’s education. Funding for 21st CCLCs is awarded through a competitive process. Applicants propose a program and budget based on the activities designed to meet the needs of their students. These grants are renewable for up to five years.
The new programs awarded this year are listed below.
These new grant winners join Delaware 21st CCLC programs funded in previous cohorts:
