Independent School Districts in the total program amount of $1,840,000.00 for the operation of after -school programs at selected schools during
Fiscal Year 2022.
DISCUSSION:
National research shows that adolescents are most at risk on school days between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. of being a victim of a
crime or committing a crime. In response to this concept, a multi -disciplinary task force was formed in 2001 consisting of City officials, school
district personnel, and related service providers. This task force developed a coordinated program for Fort Worth Independent School District
(ISD) schools that documented juvenile crime patterns.
Each year since 2001, the City of Fort Worth (City) has funded after -school programs using appropriations from the Crime Control and Prevention
District (CCPD). The participating school districts have expanded beyond Fort Worth ISD to include Keller ISD, Crowley ISD, and White
Settlement ISD; however, only schools that lie within the boundaries of the City receive CCPD funding. Each district is responsible for the day-to-
day administration of its after -school program and is required to establish program goals and objectives that are measurable and result in desired
program outcomes. Today, the mission of the after -school programs is to provide a safe environment for educational, physical, and social
development leading to a reduction in juvenile crime.
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the execution of agreements with Fort Worth, Keller, Crowley, and White Settlement
Independent School Districts in the total program amount of $1,840,000.00 for the operation of after -school programs at selected schools during
Fiscal Year 2022.

• Crowley ISD funding in the amount of $143,750.00; and
• White Settlement ISD funding in the amount of $57,500.00.
These Agreements will be effective October 1, 2021, and will end on September 30, 2022.
