BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Lodi Unified School District (LUSD) is the recipient of a state After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program grant, which provides funds for after school enrichment for K-8 students participating in LUSD’s Bridge Program.
The California Department of Education grant, funded by Proposition 49 (2002), requires a recreational component for students at participating sites. LUSD contracted with the City (sub-recipient) to provide these services for the past 17 years and negotiated an agreement for the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department (PRCS) to do so again for the school year 2024/25.
The five (5) sites are Lakewood, Vinewood, Reese, Larson, and Victor Elementary Schools. Additional Community Based Organizations (CBO) were chosen to operate the other ten (10) school sites previously operated under the PRCS Bridge Program. For the last two years, Lakewood, Vinewood, Reese, and Larson were a part of the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program, ELOP. This 2024-25 school year, those sites as well as Victor, are now a part of the ASES Grant, which is known as the “Bridge” program.
The revenue and expenses related to this program are included in the FY25 Council adopted budget (June 20, 2024). The Education Code requires that each ASES program provide cash or in-kind local funds totaling no less than one-third of the grant amount. The City, as one of LUSD’s CBOs, contributes to this requirement with indirect costs associated with running the program in the amount of $171,853.
STRATEGIC VISION:
8B. Public Well-Being: Partner with other public/private entities to provide outreach, education, and activities to engage diverse cultures and communities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
PRCS direct costs are covered under the terms of the contract except for the required match of indirect staff costs. LUSD will pay PRCS its direct costs in the amount of $489,000 to operate the five (5) sites. For Fiscal Year 2024-25, City wide indirect costs for administrative support is 9.45% of all PRCS expenditures. This is funded by a direct General Fund transfer to PRCS in an amount equal to the total cost. PRCS Administrative support consists of indirect costs within the department for oversight of the program. For FY 2024-25, the City will provide a total of $171,853 in unrecovered cost support to the program.
