RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an After School Program agreement for an amount not to
exceed $1,280,000.00 with four school districts that are attended by residents of Fort Worth to
include the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD), the Crowley Independent School
District (CISD), the Keller Independent School District (KISD) and the White Settlement Independent
School District (WSISD) to operate an After-School Program at selected schools as a juvenile crime
prevention measure during Fiscal Year 2011; and
2. Authorize the agreement to be renewed for up to four one-year periods without further action from
City Council.
DISCUSSION:
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2001, a multi-disciplinary task force recommended funding for a program
called the Fort Worth After-School Program at selected elementary and middle schools in the City of
Fort Worth. Since that time, the City of Fort Worth, funded by appropriations from the Crime Control
and Prevention District, has dedicated funding annually to continue the program for the four ISDs.
This year the funding will be $1,280,000.00 for the four ISDs and is included in the Fiscal Year 2011
Fort Worth Crime Prevention District budget. The FWISD will provide matching funds in the amount of
$1.1 million and continue to administer this project. Funding will be allocated as follows to each ISD:
• FWISD funding not to exceed $1,040,000.00
• Keller ISD funding not to exceed $100,000.00
• Crowley ISD funding not to exceed $100,000.00
• White Settlement ISD funding not to exceed $40,000.00
Each District is responsible for day-to-day administration of the After-School Program. The mission
of the After-School Program is to enable needs-based after-school programs in a safe environment
that result in educational, physical, and social development for elementary and middle aged
children. Each District is required to establish program goals and objectives that are measurable
and result in desired outcomes through a scientific evaluation process and are to ensure that program
participants achieve improvement in core program outcomes through an accountable system of
measurement. Additonally, the after-school programs must ensure that existing programs are not
duplicated, or if appropriate, are expanded or complimented through an inventory and evaluation of
existing programs.
