RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

from the Texas Education Agency to operate the Diamond Hill Coalition After-School Program for the 2007-

DISCUSSION:
On March 23, 2004, (M&C G-14308) the City Council authorized the application for and acceptance of a
grant in the amount of $130,370 from the Criminal Justice Division of the Office of the Governor of
Texas. The Parks and Community Services Department submitted the proposal for the Diamond Hill
Coalition After-School Program in collaboration with the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth and Camp Fire
USA First Texas Council. That grant began a three year funding cycle under the auspices of the Safe and
Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Fund. On August 21, 2007 (M&C G-15835), the City Council
authorized applying for a new grant from the Criminal Justice Division; and because that grant application
was not awarded, a separate grant application is being submitted to the Texas Education Agency.
The Diamond Hill Coalition After-School Program has provided supervised after-school educational, cultural
and recreational activities for middle and high school age youth since 1996 and is designed to promote
school attendance, discipline and learning. A major function of the program is to provide participants with
the skills needed to improve their academic competency in reading, writing and mathematics. With this
continuation grant, the program will serve youth ages ten through seventeen.
The Diamond Hill Coalition After-School Program is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
