2. PURPOSE OF THE RFP

from interested parties who can provide Youth Enrichment Programs for District students during before,

and/or after school, summer sessions, and intersessions. The program must integrate with the regular

school day and other expanded learning opportunities while providing a safe physical and emotional

environment, opportunities for relationship building and promotion of active student engagement.

A. The program will be funded through the After-School Education and Safety Program (ASES)

grant. The grant’s purpose is to create incentives for establishing locally-driven Expanded

Learning programs, including after school programs that partner with public schools and

communities to provide academic and literacy support, and safe, constructive alternatives for

pupils in Kindergarten and grades 1 – 8. Respondents are encouraged to view and to become

familiar with the ASES grant and ELO-P requirements.

and interests of pupils through hands-on, engaging learning experiences. Expanded learning

programs are pupil-centered, results driven, include community partners, and complement, but

do not replicate, learning activities in the regular school day and school year. Requires 30

additional 9-hour non-instructional days to be provided each year.

Respondents are encouraged to view and to become familiar with the ELO-P grant requirements.
