Go to http://finance1.doe.mass.edu/grants/grants09/rfp/530.html for more information.
Priorities for 2008-2009 will be:
-
Supporting programs that demonstrate strong and innovative implementation of the Quality Enhancements described in Attachment A. Proposed services and activities (See the list in the Purpose section above.) under this priority can focus on enhancing one or more of the quality criteria listed in Attachment A: Guidelines for Quality Enhancements in After-School and Out-of-School Time Programs. The goal of these criteria is to support high quality ASOST programs that provide a balanced focus on and link to supporting children's and youth's academic success as well as their overall development, including healthy social emotional development. Applicants may propose a planning process whereby community and school partners would work together to develop strategies for how to better address and sustain the after-school and out-of-school time needs of children, youth, and families within a community.
-
Addressing barriers to student participation. Applicants may apply for funding to address programmatic issues related to facilitating student participation, including but not limited to: providing transportation; promoting effective student outreach activities; and/or providing program services for particular age groups, K-12, that are not being served currently.
-
Increasing comprehensive after-school and out-of-school time programming to children and youth during the school year and summer, including through 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Programs. Activities under this priority may include but not be limited to extending a program's before- and/or after-school hours/days; extending a summer program's weeks of duration or hours per day; or adding a summer program to a school year design.
