DISCUSSION
On March 26, 1996 (M&C G-11434), the City Council authorized acceptance of a grant in the amount of
$120,938 from the Governor of Texas' Interim Plan for Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities
Program The Parks and Community Services Department submitted the proposal for the Diamond Hill
Coalition After-School Program in collaboration with the YMCA and the Camp Fire USA First Texas
Council (formerly known as First Texas Council of Camp Fire Boys and Girls) For over five years, this
collaboration of agencies has successfully provided after-school programs for youth, ages 11-15, on the
north side of Fort Worth This program will end on August 31, 2001
The current grant application to fund the Diamond Hill Connection After-School Program for youth, ages
14-17, on the north side of Fort Worth, can be funded for three years The target population lives in a
community with such risk factors as substance abuse, high crime, low educational levels, adults with
limited English speaking skills, teen pregnancy, school dropouts, and youth at risk of entering the
juvenile justice system Many of the previous Diamond Hill Coalition After-School Program participants
are now in high school
The program provides supervised after-school educational, cultural, and recreational activities for
middle and high school age youth and is designed to promote school attendance, discipline, and
learning Another major emphasis of this new program is to provide participants with the skills needed
to improve their academic competency in reading, writing, and mathematics, with the goal of increasing
their scores on the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) test. Passing the TAAS test is a
necessary requirement for graduation, and many students become frustrated because they can't pass it
and subsequently drop out of school This portion of the program is designed to increase the TAAS test
passing rate for the participants, thus increasing their graduation .rate
