LOG NAME: 35AFTER SCHOOL FOR FY20
SUBJECT
Authorize Execution of Agreements with Fort Worth, Keller, Crowley, and White Settlement Independent School Districts for Operation of After -
School Programs in the Total Program Amount of $1,600,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2020 (CCPD Funded) (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Agreements with the Fort Worth, Keller, Crowley, and White Settlement
Independent School Districts in the total program amount of $1,600,000.00 for the operation of After -School Programs at selected schools during
Fiscal Year 2020.
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 of 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
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.
Funding will be allocated as follows to each district in Fiscal Year 2020 on a reimbursement basis:
Fort Worth ISD funding in the amount of $1,300,000.00.
Keller ISD funding in the amount of $125,000.00.
Crowley ISD funding in the amount of $125,000.00.
White Settlement ISD funding in the amount of $50,000.00.
An additional contract will be executed with the Fort Worth Police Athletic League (FWPALS) for $75,00000. These funds were included in the
After School Program allocation of the CCPD Budget. It is not mentioned in a separate M&C due to the delegated authority for contracts under
$100, 000.00.
These Agreements will be effective October 1, 2019, and will end on September 30, 2020.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
These contracts will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Fort Worth ISD, Keller ISD, Crowley ISD,
and White Settlement ISD.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Fort
Worth, Keller, Crowley, and White Settlement
