Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Youth, Parks, and Community Enrichment (YPCE) has provided before and after school services for NUSD since 2001 through the 4th “R” program at six elementary schools. The 4th “R” program is a licensed school age before and after school childcare program on the campuses of elementary schools. The NUSD community's response to the 4th “R” program has been extremely positive. Parents see the before and after school program as an important service that is necessary to keep their children safe while they are at work. The schools served through this agreement are Two Rivers Elementary (D3), Paso Verde School (D1), Heron Elementary (D1), and

Natomas Park Elementary (D1).
ELO-P funding will allow for the expansion of our 4th “R” program and increase the opportunity for more families to take advantage of this service. ELO-P funding will allow new enrichment opportunities and further coordination of the academic part of the program. The $2,640,000 of ELO-P funding from NUSD prioritizes students who are most vulnerable and will be used to sponsor 800 additional children into the 4th “R”. The detailed budget is included in the MOU. The program will include three components: homework assistance, physical activity, and enrichment opportunities. All program components are planned with input from NUSD to ensure that learning enhancements happen during the school day.
YPCE staff and the Natomas Unified LEAP Academy Director will work together closely to ensure all program requirements are met and no disruption to services will be experienced by students, parents, or NUSD staff.
Policy Considerations: Continued delivery of after school programs is consistent with the City’s Citywide Youth Development Plan of providing resources, support, and connection to effective programs and services that lead to success in education.
Economic Impacts: Not applicable.
Environmental Considerations: Not applicable.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable
Rationale for Recommendation: YPCE has provided after school services for NUSD since 2001 through 4
th “R” at six elementary schools. ELO-P funding will allow for the expansion of our existing 4 th “R” program at four sites.
Financial Considerations: For FY25, NUSD will direct $1,280,000 to cover 100% of the expansion’s operational costs for 400 additional students at four elementary schools. For FY26, NUSD will direct $1,360,000 to cover 100% of the expansion’s operational costs for 400 additional students at four elementary schools.
Staff recommends increasing the FY25 revenue and expenditure budgets by $1,280,000 and increasing the FY26 revenue and expenditure budgets by $1,360,000 to properly account for the expansion funding in the 4th R Program (Fund 6012).
