In discussion was provision of services only at the three elementary schools. The results of this review and subsequent recommendations are provided for Council review BACKGROUND Historically the Community Schools Collaboration organization has provided afterschool programming at all five Tukwila schools. With changing staff both within the CSC organization and at the School District, and a question of finances needed to operate the ppogr8nn, the invitation to serve as the provider was broadened to the YMCA, Parks and Recreation, and CSC. DISCUSSION The review committee looked at a variety of factors; model, capacity, financial stability, leveraging existing neSOUrCes, and cost in order to make a recommendation. The committee were especially impressed with a proposal that includes an integrated model including Parks and Recreation as well as the YMCA. Parks and Recreation brings the experience and great visibility with the community. The YMCA brings expected and proven success in providing academic programming, coordination of health services and the ability to leverage additional funding. Both parties considered an integrated model that would cost approximately $204.000. The District has committed $80.000 however dollars are restricted by the nature of the funding source to serve underperforming students. Parks and Recreation has proposed providing all elementary school programming at the Tukwila School District. The District will offer space in each of the three schools as an in-kind resource. Transportation resources need to be arranged at the Building |eve|, as the Buildings have discretion over dollars that would be used for this source. Transportation dollars are not included in this budget. They are estimated at $70,000 for all elementary schools. All parties would like to start programming in the fall. It is estimated that the costs from September — December will be $87,170. ($23.00O for Parks and Recreation and $$O4.170for YMCA). Community Schools Collaboration will be providing programming for the middle school and the high echoo|, however the proposed external funding from Race to the Top funds may not materialize until 2015. The team talked about options of amending CSC's cnntract, and reallocating some funds to Recreation services. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the Committee review this issue and that it be forwarded to a future Committee of the Whole meeting once further specifics of budget are identified for September — December of this year and for 2015.
