Summary: The District is seeking Board approval for an existing partnership with the YMCA of Springfield. Fifty students from Enos Elementary School will participate in an after-school program at the YMCA at 601 N. 4th St. The program will run Monday through Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. In addition to the after-school program, the YMCA will provide 24 days to participate in an all-day program during winter break, spring break, inclement weather days, and other non-student attendance days. This partnership will include a YMCA Family Membership for each family, monthly family/community events, character development activities, daily enrichment activities, homework support, and daily moderate to rigorous, safe physical activity, which includes swimming! Transportation from Enos to the YMCA will be provided through a regular bus route by adding the YMCA as a bus stop. This will eliminate any additional transportation expenses. Parents must pick up students from the YMCA nightly at the end of the program day. ESSER funds will be used to support this partnership at a total cost of $147,000 per year for 1 year.
Funding: ESSER
