Renewing of the 2018-2020 "Agreement" for a one-year extension per that agreement.  Section 3 of this "Agreement" states:

"3. Term of Agreement: "....At the option of the YMCA this agreement may be extended for three additional one year terms upon written notice delivered to the Board no later than June 10th of each year in which the YMCA states its intention to exercise this option...."

The agreement allows the YMCA of Florida's First Coast, Inc. to implement an after-school enrichment program at all of the Clay County elementary schools (grades K-6).  The program will utilize the facilities of the elementary schools.  The YMCA will hire and maintain the staff at each site.

This program offers an educational component, social/emotional support system and services to each schools community.

The YMCA has had a program in place for a number of years.  The data - see attachment - highlights the educational benefits or growth that our students have experienced while in the program this past year.

The YMCA and the Clay school district has always had a positive relationship and it is expected to see similar gains in the areas recorded.

Goal:  Develop a High Quality & Aligned Instrucational System.

Strategy:  1.1.4 Explore innovative program options for rigorous opportunities at the elementary and secondary levels.

That the Clay County School Boad approve the request for a 1-year extension of the "Agreement."
