Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment (YPCE) has provided after school services for the Robla School District since 2006. For the FY2024/25 school year, the State of California Department of Education (CDE) approved grant funding for the ASES program for the Robla School District through June 30, 2025, in the amount of $753,792.

standards in core content areas.
The City of Sacramento, as the grant recipient, is responsible for meeting all grant requirements, operating the program in compliance with the law, submitting all reports, conducting an annual outcome-based evaluation, and conducting an annual audit.
Policy Considerations: Continued participation in after school literacy and enrichment programs is consistent with the City’s strategic plan to enhance livability.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: Continued administrative activities and government funding actions are not projects subject to environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines section 15378(b).
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: Since 1996, the Sacramento Students Today Achieving Results for Tomorrow (START) program has operated after school literacy and enrichment programs at many elementary school campuses throughout Sacramento County. Executing the agreement with CDE will continue important education and safety services for Robla School District elementary school children. It will also allow the City to be reimbursed for services provided in FY2024/25.
Financial Considerations: For FY2024/25, CDE awarded the City $753,792 in grant funds to operate the START ASES program at five elementary schools in the Robla School District. The grant award is sufficient to cover the City’s costs of operating the program. Staff recommend adjusting YPCE’s FY2024/25 operating revenue and expenditure budget in the START Fund (Fund 2501) to properly account for the grant funding.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
