The Florida Department of Education has awarded the Osceola School District $2,339,632 in 2010/2011 federal funding for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC). The total includes continuation grants for existing local Cohorts III, IV, V, and VI.
The 21st CCLC Program targets low-income families and students, low-performing schools, and schools designated as in need of improvement under Title I. The program purpose is to provide safe environments during non-school hours for students, as they participate in academic and personal enrichment opportunities and other activities that complement the regular academic curriculum.
The program also engages adult family members of actively participating students through educational and personal development opportunities. Centers provide a range of high-quality services to support student learning and development, including: tutoring and mentoring, academic enrichment (e.g., homework assistance, reading, math, science, and technology programs), service learning, character education, physical education/recreational activities, and dropout prevention.
