Approve Renewal Cooperative Agreement for Early Childhood Developmental Care and Family Literacy and Workforce Development at the Kimmins Family Learning Center, 2007/2008 - $12,000 (Adult and Community Education)

We request approval of the Renewal Cooperative Agreement for the continuation of educational services by the Department of Adult and Community Education to families enrolled at the Kimmins Family Literacy Center. Selection of this off-campus site is based on the needs of the community both in time of delivery and location.

The Cooperative Agreement stipulates that the Department of Adult and Community Education will provide a Family Literacy Program that provides a 5-prong integrated approach to address workforce and literacy needs of parents and children. This program offers a full range of educational services, parenting skills, pre-vocational training, parent involvement activities, and workforce readiness skills.

In exchange for the use of classroom space at Kimmins Family Learning Center, the district agrees to pay 70% of the monthly utilities at the facility, approximately $12,000.

For the 2006/2007 school year, Kimmins Family Learning Center served approximately 162 students and earned $80,950 in Workforce Education Funding.
