FISCAL IMPACT: No net financial impact. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The AfterSchool 4 All Initiative (A4A) supports two of Contra Costa's community outcomes ("Children ready for and succeeding in school; and Children and youth healthy and preparing for productive adulthood.") BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATIONS): The A4A is a county-wide collaborative launched in 2001 as a response to the pressing need in the county for safe, educationally enriching after school programs. The Collaborative consists of Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors through liaison staff from the County Administrator's Office, 6 neighboring school districts (Antioch Unified, John Swett Unified, Martinez Unified, Mt. Diablo Unified, Pittsburg Unified and West Contra Costa Unified) and Community Based Organizations (CBOs). The Collaborative is dedicated to collectively providing expanded after school services to students and families across the county. It was originally made up of two sub-initiatives; the County-funded A4A Initiative and the Grant-funded A4A Collaborative. These two sub-initiatives brought together Districts and Community Based Organizations (CBO) to develop partnerships and to increase and enhance after school programming across the county. The A4A County Initiative was funded (until 2003) by Temporary Aid Needy Families (TANF) and the A4A Grant Initiative is primarily funded by California Department of Education's After School Education & Safety Program (ASES) grant and the Federal 21St Century Community Learning Centers (21stCCLC) grant.

Contact:John Gregory 335-1089 ATTESTED J<5HN SWEETEN,CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR cc:John Gregory,CAO BY /d�'��---�� DEPUTY Each of the 32 A4A After School Programs provide academic support (i.e., homework help, tutoring, standards-based instruction and computers), enrichment (i.e., visual and performing arts, gardening and cooking classes; sports, field trips), support services (i.e., mentoring, nutritious snacks, drug and violence prevention activities), youth development (i.e., youth leadership, service learning, leadership opportunities), and family support (i.e., adult education classes, family events). Programs presently serve over 3,275 students daily and operate after school Monday through Friday until 6:00pm during the school year and at some sites during a summer session. During the 2004-05 school year we anticipate adding 500 more students. In general, program staff includes a Site Director as well as the number of Recreation Specialists needed to ensure a 1:20 ratio with children. Teachers, Specialists and volunteers also help to enhance programming and provide academic and enrichment opportunities for participating youth. Sustainability Plan Summary(see attachment for more detail) In order to maintain and expand after school services across Contra Costa County the A4A Collaborative plans to: Access the threats and opportunities to after school services Increase Staff Trainings from three in 04-05 to five in 05-06 • Develop an A4A Advisory Board • Identify strategic partnerships • Collaboratively apply for grants Designate additional time and resources for grant writing • Submit at least two proposal to Foundations Increase community support Coordinate with other recreation agencies to support base programming Implement Technical Assistance to sites • Expand A4A Coordinator position from 1 day a week to 2 days a week Expand partnership to additional districts Refine data collection • Withhold a percentage from grants application to support A4A Collaborative. Status Report Summary(see attachment for more detail) The Contra Costa County A4A is funded by a mix of ASES, federal 21 st Century, and state 21 st Century grants. A4A provides high-quality after-school programs to thousands of students throughout the County. The A4A collaborative seeks to provide after-school programs that promote the following goals: A4A students will improve their academic performance A4A students will be provided with a safe, healthy and nurturing environment A4A students will develop life skills, including leadership and appreciation of cultural and ethnic diversity A4A students will successfully engage is nutrition, fitness and enrichment activities Families of A4A students will have multiple opportunities to participate in literacy and educational development activities Accomplishments: 9 Collaborative members were awarded both the After School Education and Safety Program and 21st Century Community Learning Center grants 4. 0 For reporting period, served 3,275 students daily at 32 school sites across Contra Costa County 0 The A4A Collaborative has expanded from 4 school districts in 2001 to 6 school districts presently in Contra Costa County 9 Regularly share "Best practices" across the County through monthly meetings 0 Successfully coordinate two county-wide trainings a year 0 Centralized county-wide reporting 0 The annual evaluation indicated that 90% of parents believed that the after school programming helped their children learn more about core academic subjects 0 The annual evaluation indicated that 100% of the after school programming participants have been promoted to the next grade level 0 The annual evaluation indicated that regular classroom teachers noted the majority of ASP students improved in homework preparation and quality, classroom participation and attentiveness, classroom behavior, student preparedness and student-to-student relations V After School 4 All Collaborative Sustainability Plan Executive Summary: The After School 4 All (A4A) Collaborative has served as a facilitating agent for coordinated after school services across Contra Costa County for the past 4 years. These coordinated services include; networking, county-wide training and support and shared evaluation of programming. The A4A Collaborative has created a forum for support and mentorship to new and existing After School Programs and has become instrumental in the County's efforts to expand after school services to students and families in Contra Costa County. Our Initiative: Current Status The A4A Collaborative Representatives presently attend monthly meetings to facilitate peer networking and mentorship, identify "best practices" in programming, enhance linkages to resources, clarify funding requirements, advocate for After School Programming in Contra Costa County and identify funds to support the A4A Collaborative and After School Programs. Each district participates and supports the A4A quarterly County-wide Staff Trainings that provide high quality instruction and mentorship in After School programming as well as the After School Web based data management system that collects attendance, activities, participant descriptors such as ethnicity, gender, grade level and high need by site, district and across the county. This data is aggregated and assessed as an integral part of our program evaluations. The A4A Collaborative's primary roles are to: • Identify and coordinate county-wide Staff Development opportunities. • Share common program goals and objectives in operating After School Programs across the county. • Collaboratively participate in county-wide program evaluation. • Centralize county-wide reporting around after school programming. • Plan, promote and advocate for ASP services across Contra Costa County as well as help enhance and build linkages within the community. • Establish accountability and review program data and evaluation in order to achieve program goals and objectives. • Make collaborative decisions around program development and change. • Provide Technical Assistance (TA) support to new and needy After School Sites within the Collaborative. • Make efforts to expand After School Programs within the six partnering school districts to ALL schools that are eligible for After School Education and Safety Program (ASES) and 21St Century Community Learning Centers (21stCCLC) grants. • Develop a long-range sustainability plan that will support county-wide after school services. • Identify and secure long term resources and funding sources to support the A4A Collaborative. • Identify and access resources and funds to expand arts education and youth development opportunities in After School Programs in Contra Costa County. Future Plans As a partnership, we are committed to collaboratively maintaining and expanding after school services across Contra Costa County. We plan to facilitate continued partnerships among the 1 six school districts which includes shared training, common evaluation, peer networking, mentorship and advocacy for existing and expanding after school services and resources. Our overarching vision for the future is to: 1. Sustain the coordination of the A4A Collaborative. 2. Expand the number of county-wide trainings. 3. Implement technical assistance (TA) support to new and needy sites and districts. 4. Expand After School programming to new sites within the 6 districts and other districts in Contra Costa County. 5. Expand arts education and youth development programs at all exisiting sites. In order to realize this vision, we will designate additional time and resources for grant writing, specifically to support expanded after school programming and enhanced arts education and youth development opportunities. As described below, funding has already been identified for expanded trainings, technical assistance and on-going coordination of the Collaborative. Strategic Considerations: The Community Context: Threats and Opportunities The most daunting threat to sustaining the A4A Collaborative is adequate funds. While every After School Program is currently funded by either the California Department of Education's After School Education & Safety Program (ASES) grant and/or the Federal 21St Century Community Learning Center(21stCCLC) grant as base funding, we are constantly in need of additional resources to support the kinds of coordination, training and technical support, expansion efforts as well as arts and youth development activities that we're committed to delivering. There is also, always the looming timeline when the grant comes to an end. The ASES grant is a 3-year renewable grant dependent on goals met and number of students served while the 21 StCCLC grant is a 5-year grant. Beginning in spring 2007, ten of the After School sites will be ending their 21 StCCLC grants and will need to identify other sources for base funding. It is important to note that there is no scheduled date for any new Request for Applications (RFA) for either the ASES or 21 StCCLC grants. There is much strength that our programs and Collaborative draws upon as part of our sustainability efforts. Key among them are 6 committed districts, support from the County Board of Supervisors and state legislators, partnerships with Community-Based Organizations, access to quality training and curriculum, strong systems and policies, an infrastructure to support new programs and eagerness to expand services to more youth across Contra Costa County. Partnership Strategies The A4A has purposefully submitted collaborative proposals for multiple funding sources to enhance after school services and resources, to promote and cultivate mentorship and to expand after school programming across Contra Costa County. The A4A Collaborative has successfully received both the ASES and 21 StCCLC grants to operate programs as well as funds from Y& H Soda, Margaret Lesher and Frank and Eva Buck Foundations to support the coordination of the collaborative, training and outreach for future funds. Future partnerships with City and County Recreation Departments, Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, AmeriCorps and Colleges will continue to be pursued in our efforts to acquire and train staff, offer academic and enrichment activities and make linkages within the community. 2 Strategies to Increase Community Support In order to remain effective and relevant in the future, the A4A Collaborative has identified five primary strategies for increasing visibility and broadening its base of support in the community and the county. They include: ♦ Developing an A4A Advisory Board representing, parents, community, schools, city, and county representatives ♦ Distributing a brochure and quarterly newsletter to enhance communication and outreach ♦ Making annual presentations to the Board of Supervisors on our efforts, actions and future plans ♦ Identifying all schools within the six partnering school districts that are eligible for ASES and/or 21 StCCLC grant funding and advocating for joint applications ♦ Reaching out to other Contra Costa County School Districts to invited them to participate in the Collaborative. Internal Capacity Strategies The A4A Collaborative is currently coordinated by a part time A4A Coordinator and program Secretary. In the future, we are hoping to expand the Coordinator's position from 1 day to 2 days a week. With the expansion from 10 participating schools and 4 districts in 2001 to 31 schools and 6 districts in 2005 there has been an increasing need for more support, outreach and communication among the collaborative and with future partners. Through our continued efforts in coordinating county-wide training and technical support to schools and districts, the A4A Collaborative is assisting After School Programs in retaining qualified staff, increasing opportunities for career growth, and guidance for further education. Our existing Management Information System tracks program attendance, activities, and student demographics. This system in conjunction with surveys and observations creates an assessment of programming and our collaborative. Future efforts will be to further refine our data collection and utilize it in a more efficient manner to articulate the linkages between programming and student growth academically, socially, nutritionally and emotionally. Financing Plan: Fiscal Needs The current budget for the A4A Collaborative is $63,871. This is primarily supported by the ASES grant, which includes 10 schools, in which Mt. Diablo Unified School Districts serves as the fiscal agent. The Collaborative is currently looking into accessing funds from the 21StCCLC grant administered by Antioch Unified School District which includes an additional 10 schools, to identify funds to further support the A4A Collaborative. The A4A budget supports $12,000 for the A4A Coordinator (1 day/week), $43,000 for the Collaborative's Secretary, $6,000 for training, $2,871 for misc/office supplies. With the growth of the A4A Collaborative and its plans for expansion and refinement, the need for additional resources and services has become greatly apparent. Expanded services include, $12,000 for an additional A4A Coordinator day, $10,000 for TA support to new and/or needy After School sites, $10,000 for additional training days and $20,000 for fund development/grant writing and $51,000 for arts and youth development activities (provide $1,000 per site). The expanded A4A services would increase the budget to $166,871 in 2004- 3 05, $157,871 in 2005-06 and $161,871 in 2006-07. Thus the funding gap for 2004-06 would be $51,000 and $68,000 for 2006-07. The Collaborative has received a generous grant from Y& H Soda, Buck and Lesher Foundations (referenced as Soda) for$65,000 for the 2004-05 school year. These funds are allowing us to move forward in our efforts for increased coordination, training and technical support and grant writing efforts. This is reflective in the Projected 3-year budget below. In addition to sustaining the A4A Collaborative and the services it provides, the A4A regularly monitors the multiple grants each of the partnering school districts receive, such as ASES, 21 StCCLC, Keller Mitigation local funds, Community Development Block Grants, California Nutrition Network grants to ensure base programming continues. The A4A Collaborative anticipates the expiration of the 21StCCLC for 10 of the districts in 2007 and hopes to address this concern with increased collaborative applications for grants and foundation proposals.

Strategies for Securing Needed Resources The A4A Collaborative has identified some key strategies for securing needed resources for supporting our efforts and goals. We intend to continue to apply whenever possible as a collaborative (2+ districts) for State (ASES), Federal (21stCCLC) and foundation After School program grants. This has proven successful in the past. In addition, whenever a potential funding source becomes available, the Collaborative reviews the source to see if it would help 4 us achieve any of our 4 primary sustainable goals. We plan to access the 21StCCLC grant funds from Antioch Unified School District by the 2005-06 school years to allow the expansion of the services we proposed. We also anticipate as we apply for future After School funding through ASES and 21 StCCLC, a 3% collaborative cost will be deducted from the grant award to support the A4A goals of coordination, training, technical assistance and expansion of arts and youth services. We have begun conversations with a few local foundations and plan to submit at least 2 proposals during the 2004-05 and the 2005-06 school years in an effort to identify additional funds to support the A4A services. Furthermore, Pilot Programs focusing on the arts and youth development will be implemented across districts to identify and share "best practices" and impacts on youth Finally, future partnerships with City and County Recreation Departments, Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, AmeriCorps and Colleges will be pursued in our efforts to acquire and train staff, offer academic and enrichment activities and make linkages within the community. The A4A Collaborative will also actively research and apply for local, state, federal and foundations grants that can support our goals After School 4 All Collaborative Sustainability Plan Attachment 1: Action Plan and Timetable Strategy Milestone Date Access AUSD Meet with AUSD to discuss budget and 1/05-6/05 21StCCLC grant funds support to support the A4A Secure funding by 7/05 Collaborative Im lement funding support 7/05 Increase Staff Outreach to potential trainers 1/05-9/05 Trainings from 3 in Secure date and locations 7/05-5/06 2004-05 to 5 in 2005- Advertise to A4A schools 7/05-5/06 06 Develop A4A Advisory Identify and recruit potential members 2/05 Board Outreach and invite stakeholders 3/05 Develop roles and responsibilities 4/04 Facilitate first meeting 5/05 Implement Technical Identify needy sites with support from our 1/05-3/05 Assistance (TA) to Evaluation Team sites Contract TA support 3/05 Identify "bestpractice" sites 2/05-ongoing Distribute A4A Create brochure 1/05 brochure Distribute to Stakeholders 3/05 Collaboratively apply Identify eligible sites within the six By 4/05 for 21 StCCLC and partnering school districts ASES grants Anticipate RFP to post TBA 5 Submit at least 2 Research Foundation 10/05- proposals to Attend East Bay After School Resource ongoing Foundations Forum 2/19/05 Network with interested Foundation 2/05-ongoing Write LOls/funding proposals 2/05-ongoing Secure funding by 8/05 Coordinate with other Outreach to potential partners 2/05-9/05 recreation agencies to Write LOls/funding proposals 10/05-12/05 support base programming Provide enhanced arts Outreach to potential funders 2/05-12/05 and youth Write LOls/funding proposals 4/05-12/05 development activities Secure funding 12/05 to sites Schedule arts and youth services 12/05-1/06 Expand partnership to Identify eligible school districts and sites 4/05 additional districts in Contra Costa County for ASES and 21 StCCLC grants Invite districts to attend MA informational 9/05-3/06 meeting Share MA Executive Summary with 9/05-3/06 potential partnering districts Hold meetings 9/05-ongoing Withhold a percentage Create document that outlines support 4/05 from collaborative funds for the MA grant applications to Develop MOU that outlines what the 5/05 support the MA percentage withheld will support Collaborative 6 r AFITR SCHOOL 4 ALL CONTRA COSTA COUNTY COLLABORATM Status Report April 12, 2005 32 schools are included on this Status Report which serve 3,275 students on a daily basis.
