The City's relocated and expanded program <br />started in January 2017 and has seen steady growth ever since. The program currently has 98 of <br />100 slots filled, with 1/3 of participants paying full price and nearly 2/3 participating for free. The <br />program includes healthy snacks, homework help, active play, arts and projects and has <br />received very positive feedback from families.

Chair Kruller offered to reach out to tech companies about the possibility of donating <br />20 computers to the program. DISCUSSION ONLY. <br />
