PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Department
MEETING DATE: December 09, 2024
SUBJECT:
Afterschool Enrichment Services for School Year 2024-2025 — Agreement Amendment No. 1 RECOMMENDATION:
To approve Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with San Mateo Union High School District for afterschool enrichment services for Empowerment Through Action (ETA) Program in an amount of $17,000 for a new total not to exceed amount of $48,000 and authorize Parks and Recreation Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
Empowerment Through Action (ETA) is a comprehensive program designed to support over 160 historically underserved students at Hillsdale High School. Since its inception in Spring 2018, ETA has been dedicated to closing the opportunity gap and fostering a sense of belonging among its participants. The program aims to enhance students' social, emotional, and academic growth, while also developing their self-confidence, inner capital, social connections, and job and internship placement opportunities. ETA offers a variety of services and activities, including wellness groups that foster mental and emotional well-being through group support, tutoring that provides academic assistance to help students achieve their educational goals, enrichment activities that offer extracurricular opportunities to broaden students' horizons, job and career training that prepares students for the workforce with practical skills and experience, parent education that engages parents in the educational process to support their children's success, a community closet that provides essential items to students in need, and a food pantry that ensures no student goes hungry, thereby supporting their overall well- being.
For many years, the San Mateo Police Activities League (PAL) and the San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department have been instrumental in supporting ETA through general oversight and the provision of stipends. This collaboration has been crucial in maintaining and expanding the diverse range of enrichment programs that ETA offers to its students. This amendment will continue to ensure that the valuable resources and services provided by ETA can be sustained and enhanced. Additional increase in funding will help offset the school district’s staffing cost for a full-time merit ETA Program Coordinator.
At the August 19, 2024, City Council meeting, City Council authorized an agreement with San Mateo Union High School District for afterschool enrichment services for Empowerment Through Action (ETA) Program in an amount not to exceed $31,000. This amendment will increase the total amount of this agreement by $17,000 to an amount not to exceed $48,000. As the proposed agreement amendment involves two government entities, it requires the approval of the City Council.
BUDGET IMPACT:
These funds are allocated in the San Mateo PAL budget and therefore there is no budget impact for the City.
