Oregon Hunger Relief Task Force | | Superintendent Castillo Announces 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Awards State Schools Superintendent Susan Castillo announced Oregon Department of Education awards of nearly $7.4 million in 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Title IV-B funds to nineteen (19) applicants for the 2009-2014 funding cycle. The 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant program provides money for communities and schools to offer new academic and enrichment programs during out-of-school time and education and family literacy opportunities for the participating children’s adult family members.
The program, part of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), is targeted toward high-poverty schools to help children achieve academically and to provide quality out-of-school time programming. Many schools and community organizations applied as partners.
"This is great news for our students," said Castillo. "This funding will allow our school districts to target support for students who need it the most and can be used for academic enrichment services such as tutoring in core subjects like reading and math. We know these supports to struggling students are vital as we move forward in implementing the new Diploma requirements." The following applicant entities were successful in this competition: David Douglas SD
