BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Lodi Unified School District (LUSD) is the recipient of a state After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program grant, which funds after-school enrichment for K-8 students participating in the Bridge Program.
The California Department of Education grant, funded by Proposition 49 (2002), requires a recreational component for participating students. For the past 18 years, LUSD has contracted with the City of Lodi to serve as a sub-recipient of these funds, with the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department (PRCS) providing the required recreational programming. LUSD has again negotiated an agreement with PRCS to continue this role during the 2026/27 school year.
The three (3) sites served under this agreement are Reese, Larson, and Victor Elementary Schools. These locations were transitioned into the Bridge Program in the 2024/25 school year, having previously been supported under the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP). The program ensures students have access to structured recreational and enrichment opportunities beyond the school day.
For FY26/27 LUSD has asked PRCS department to support expanded intersession programming, bringing the total agreement to $557,000. To address potential program fluctuations or emerging needs, the agreement also authorizes the City Manager to enter into future agreements for the 2026/2027 school year upon the request of Lodi Unified School District in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for a total not to exceed $657,000.
The revenue and expenses related to this program were included in the FY27 Council adopted budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
PRCS costs are fully covered under the terms of the contract. A contingency of up to $100,000 is included, subject to request by LUSD and approval by the City Manager and PRCS Department Head.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
