HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 05032011 - C.42RECOMMENDATION(S):
SUPPORT Senate Bill 429 (DeSaulnier): After School Education and Safety: Grants, a bill
that allows after school programs to offer a 6-hour program using existing supplemental
grant funds, as recommended by the Legislation Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the County.
BACKGROUND:
According to the author, "Fewer schools are offering summer school due to budget cuts.
Research shows that 'summer slide' disproportionately affects low-income children and is
also cumulative over time. Research also shows that children gain weight more rapidly in
the summer if they don't have access to organized recreational or physical activity
programs. Nearly all children enrolled in publicly funded after school programs also receive
free or reduced price meals during the school year, and without those meals in the summer,
many are receiving lower-quality foods that are causing weight gain. This bill will provide
current after school grantee with supplemental grants the flexibility to better address the
needs of students and communities during the summer months."

Subject:SB 429 (DeSaulnier): Programs: After School Education and Safety: Grants
Specifically, SB 429 (Desaulnier) does the following:
1) Authorizes a before or after school program to receive a supplemental grant top operate in
excess of 180 regular schooldays or during any combination of summer, intersession, or

2) Authorizes an existing after school supplemental grantee to operate a 3-hour or 6-hour
per day program without receiving additional grant funds.
3) Requires the target attendance level to be computed for 6-hour programs as if the grant

4) Authorizes a program that receives a supplemental grant to change the location of the
program to address the needs of pupils and school closures and to be conducted at an offsite

7) Requires a program operating a 6-hour program to submit to the California Department
